Royal Thai Pavilion in Sweden

Ragunda Valley has the only Royal Thai Pavilion of its kind outside Thailand. The Royal Thai Pavilion in Utanede is nearly 100 years after the visit by the Thai King Chulalongkorn Rama V in 1897, Thai representatives decided together with Ragunda to honour the king’s visit through erecting a spectacular memorial building right in the Swedish birch tree forest. In the agreement “Joint plan of action”, signed by both the Thai and Swedish governments, the Thai Pavilion is recognised as a very important cultural meeting place for both Thai and Swedish persons.
