Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- MattieHollywood, FL28 contributionsYou are only allowed to walk around the grounds. Remember to dress accordingly-no shorts or sleeveless tops. Bring a sun hat or umbrella as the sun is unforgiving. The structures were awe-inspiring.Written 7 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LostagainadvisorHouston, TX750 contributionsIt's amazing how the monarchs like to be remembered. The buildings are impressive. It is also interesting how they reflect the sunlight.

- Off their PManchester, UK4,013 contributionsThis pretty fort was right next to our hotel so we used to go past it all the time. It’s incredible that there is such history right in the city and it is definitely worth finding if you are out exploring.
Unfortunately, due to the current times, access was restricted but you can still get some great photographs from the outside.Written 3 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In the museum you learn a lot about the mother of two kings, King Ananda and King Bhumipol.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is included in the 500 baht ticket price which includes the Wat Phra, Golden Stupa, Grand Palace, Queen Sirikit museum of textiles.

- Les MBangkok, Thailand78 contributionsThe house is in a wonderful park setting in central Bangkok. You can just walk around the park which has a number of really nice restaurants and take a personalised tour of the house which we did, it lasts about 50 minutes. The tour of the house was well worth it. The is a beautiful building constructed througout in teak, you get to find out the background as to whom built it and why and also learn about where the very large collection.of artefacts came from. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.Written 31 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ambience is tranquil.Written 21 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Roger TBangkok, Thailand6 contributionsI'm distraught to see many glorious mature trees being felled inside the palace.I always cherished the views of the Palace from outside,a sense of a wonderful nature oasis,a lovely area for people to stroll.Does anybody know why they are being felled?Written 4 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chuck BSteilacoom, WA831 contributionsThe ramparts are more interesting than the fort, but they should have left the new white paint off them do. The historic feel is undone when the feeling of antiquity makes an old building look like a wedding cake. It’s okay, you can take a quick look while walking by on the way yo the Golden Mount. No harm, no foul.Written 19 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Katrina AHong Kong4 contributionsBeing a fan of the film In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar Wai, I made sure to research on the filming locations that I can visit on my travels. Luckily, I had the chance to visit this place when I went to Bangkok last month. The place is old and abandoned but is still reminiscent of the Old Bangkok. Photos are not allowed to be taken but I managed to take a few since there was no guard watching. It is better to take photos from the other side (opposite where I took the photos) though. I suggest that you visit during daytime to see the beauty of the building. Get a cab or book a Grab so that you can directly get to the place.Written 6 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Idz240 contributionsThis is certainly a family friendly club making effort to renovate the grounds to keep it running. The food is ridiculously cheap and quality of what you expect in your average British pub. Members only or guest of members, nice swimming pool, tennis courts and suitable for small kids, not alot for pre-teens to teens. Not exclusive as you would expect and pretty much anyone can joinWritten 13 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsEast Asiatic Company was an international conglomerate which had operations all over the world. It dealt with shipping, trade and industry. It handled it’s asian operations from Bangkok and this building was it’s head office. The company also had it’s trading port on the Chao Phraya river where the Asiatique Mall stands now. It shipped out Teak from Siam and imported other goods. The East Asiatic Company building stands next to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on the Oriental Pier. It was built on classic Venetian lines in 1884 and has the company’s name on it’s facade. You can also see the company’s logo on it’s gable. The company was the brainchild of Captain Hans Andersen who was a Danish sea captain. It is a beautiful elegant building.Written 3 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Little Wandering WrenPhuket, Thailand811 contributionsWe were drawn into this temple on our way to Baan Silipan the Artists House. It was definitely worth stopping by this Wat for an atmospheric introduction into this old riverside community, The ruins here date back 300 years to late Ayutthaya days. Nice murals, very peaceful. Wouldn't make a special trip to see.Written 8 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
