           King Rama V firstly intended to have Suan Sunandha buit for 2 reasons; 1) To be another villa since the Ambara Villa in Dusit Palace didn’t seem to be private enough to relax. 2) To be a place for the royal ladies; the consort, daughters, the royal mother, and the concubine of King Rama V. which inspired from Europe Palace. Unfortunately, he has passed away before the construction begun. When King Rama VI ascended the throne, he kindly continued the construction until it was finished. There were 195,200 square meters which had canal around Suan Sunandga, beautiful garden, and 32 mansion for royal family.
