Mueang Nakhon Reception House was built during the reign of King Rama IX as a place to receive him whenever His Majesty visited the city. It is situated amidst an old fruit garden and is kept open to public daily except Wednesdays and on occasions when the Royal family is in stay. This task of building a place for King was undertaken by Thongsamak family on the behalf of the city people and hence chose their old orchid land as the place to set up the royal lodgings. After its completion King Rama IX visited the place with the crown princess in attendance for a stay.

Highlights
The place’ infectious peace and simplicity is what makes it so strikingly appealing. Hence Mueang Nakhon Reception House, which is also known as Mueang Palace, is certainly a perfect peaceful hideaway of Nakhon Si Thammarat which is still devoid of the hustle bustle that a person experiences at other tourist attractions. However, its garden which is very colorful and lush can be counted as the second major highlight. It exists from the time before the construction of the palace and is adorned by various special types of flowers, fruit trees and various sorts of shady plants. The garden also has shady walkways and the palace’s garden in itself is a walking area dotted with mangos teen trees. It is located about thirty kilometers west of a city and in order to enter the place all that a person has to do is make an entry in a register.
Opening Time: Its opening timings are 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening and access is allowed daily excluding Wednesdays i.e. it opens from Thursdays till Tuesday.
Admission Fee: Nil
