The Chang Ton National Museum used to be home to the King of Thailand's collection of white elephants. The Vimanmek Mansion is a former royal palace and is also known as the Vimanmek Teak Mansion or Vimanmek Palace. Vimanmek Mansion was built in 1900 by King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn) by having the Munthatu Rattanaroj Residence in Chuthathuj Rachathan at Ko Sichang, Chonburi, dismantled and reassembled in Dusit Garden. It was completed on March 27, 1901 and used as a royal palace by King Rama V for five years.

The palace is the world's largest golden teakwood mansion.
