As an event designer from the College of Architecture at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University—a place with a rich history as the former Suan Sunandha Palace—we focus on blending the beauty of traditional arts and culture with contemporary design. Our inspiration lies in reflecting the charm and heritage of Suan Sunandha Palace through uniquely crafted activities that bridge the past and the present. The aim is to create immersive experiences that allow participants to rediscover the elegance and intricacies of this historic site in a modern context.

The inspiration for this activity stems from the history and art of Suan Sunandha Palace, focusing on showcasing Thai arts such as music, dance, and visual arts through visits to historic buildings that reflect the royal court's role in promoting Thai culture and heritage.

The tour showcases a collection of ancient artifacts and provides insights into the royal family and the nobility, filled with beauty and value.
