The Old Prison House


     This name was graciously given to the park by H.M. the Queen. It was a detention area before being transformed into a public park (Suan Saranrom). Original constructions have been maintained such as the watch tower. Within, there is a building constructed during the reign of King Rama V which now servers as a penal museum and shop for selling products made by prisoners. The open space inside has been turned into a garden and recreation ground.
     Suan Saranrom
This is an old park, and originally a garden in the Saranrom Palace. It is now a part of the ministry of Foreign Affairs Complex. The park itself was built in 1874 in the reign of King Rama V. In the park there is a monument of Queen Sunanda built in 1880.
