The palace grounds house five traditional Thai houses from Chiang Mai with displays of Thai art, antiques and furniture, and beautifully maintained tropical gardens with many indigenous plant species. One house accommodates an extensive collection of seashells, minerals and painted pottery from Ban Chiang, a bronze-age settlement in northeastern Thailand. At the back of the compound is the Ayutthayan-period Lacquer Pavilion, which features murals of the Ramayana and scenes from daily life in Ayutthaya.
Suan Pakkard is open daily from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm except Sundays and national holidays. The admission fee is 150 baht.
