Dusit Garden was once a huge palace complex consisting of 13 royal residences and 3 throne halls set in wide beautiful gardens covering an area of approximately 190 acres.  Today, it is bounded by Ratchwithi Road on the north, Sri Ayutthaya Road on the south, Rachasima Road on the west and U-Thong Nai Road on the east, an area of about 16 acres.  Inspired by his 1897 tour or Europe, King Rama V envisioned a new kind of palace.  He bought  farmland between the Padung Krung Kasem and Sam Sen Canals, and began construction.  Ratchadamnoen Avenue was built in 1899 linking the Grand Palace to the new palace site just 4 km away.

Getting there:
Dusit Park takes up the entire block bounded by Thanon Ratwithi, Thanon U Thong, Thanon Ratchasima and Thanon Si Ayutthaya, with park entrances on all 4 of these streets.  The park is accessible via the No. 510 and 70 bus lines.

Though it is already a long time ago that I have been there, I remember it as quite impressive and interesting.
