Palace of Thailand
The title I was given is Palaces of Thailand. There are many palaces in Thailand each with their own unique design and stories behind it. Of course the most important palace in Thailand is Bangkok’s Grand Palace. For many, a visit to the Grand Palace is an absolute essential when in Thailand. Besides that, there is also the Bang Pa-In Palace and Phraram Ratchaniwet Palace just to name a few. However, out of the many palaces in Thailand, I have chosen the Maruekhathaiyawan Palace. If given this title, Palaces of Thailand, most people would probably choose the Grand Palace as it is the main palace and the pride of Thailand. When I searched for Palaces of Thailand in the Internet, Maruekhathaiyawan Palace caught my eyes almost instantly. It was one of the most beautiful palaces I have seen. It is unique in its own way and is so different from all the palaces that I have seen. This palace is not visited often and is not as famous as the Grand Palace but I can assure you that you will not regret visiting the Maruekhathaiyawan Palace. Maruekhathaiyawan Palace features beautiful gardens and architecture. The buildings are well maintained. With its royal resort atmosphere, visiting the site will give you a sense of relaxation. If you have the time, this is a great place to wander around.
The Maruekhathaiyawan Palace is actually a summer palace or also known as a seaside palace as it is just beside the beach. It is also known as the Palace of Love and Hope. When you first look at the palace you would think it looks more like a resort than a palace. That was what caught my attention when I saw the palace. It is located in between Cha-am and Hua Hin in the Petchaburi province. It was built in 1923 under the royal command of King Rama VI using golden teakwood from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace. Maruekhathaiyawan Palace was built by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) as a seaside summer retreat. Originally, the King had a Palace built on Hat Chao Samran beach, a little more

This shows that their management level is not done their job perfectly. The average revenue for year 2008 should be higher than the previous year; this is happened on the Shangri-La Hotels but not on Landmarks Berhad.
