You won't be able to see every room here, but don't miss the "classic" area; after walking through the history of Thai TV, you'll walk into a '60s-style diner with an old car out front—perfect for the 'gram.

"Before you leave, check out the paintings inside the gorgeous Lacquer Pavilion, located at the far end of the palace. A stroll through the gardens is worth it, too."
