My normal morning exercise walk takes me along Petchkasem Road Hua Hin, northbound and past the Palace grounds to Soi 35 and then back southbound for a few kilometres. I often see joggers running around the lake and thought I would like to include it as part of my walk.
Called at what I think is a checkpoint for site workers and manned by army personnel just inside an entrance off Petchkasem (just south of Soi 35) and tried to find out what I need to do to get to walk in the grounds and around the lake.
Unfortunately my English and their Thai didn't seem to get me anywhere so I am hoping that someone out there can give me some idea on what/who/where I need to do to get permission be allowed in.
They certainly weren't going to let me in this morning
PM's would be appreciated if anyone can help
Regards Rob

Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
I've often wondered this myself, I hope someone can post the information here so we can all learn
Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
Further information on my earlier post.........
I did a search on here and found an old thread but can't find it again now, I think it must be an age thing
There is apparently an entrance in Soi 35 where you can enter by showing ID (Passport/Driving License). Visitors are allowed to run/walk around the lake between 0530 and 0730 and also 1730 and 1930. Proper T-Shirt is required, no sleeveless vests allowed.
If anyone can offer any more info it will be very much appreciated :-)

Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
The info above is pretty much spot on, other things to note no phones/iPods/MP3's etc allowed. Ladies have to cover legs, men can wear shorts
Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
Also have in mind, no Slippers etc. ONLY decent Running shoes. No dogs allowed.
Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
Is the above information still current? I haven't been since last fall.
Re: Walking inside the Palace grounds
Yes Homer, wife was there yesterday and still the same rules apply.
Cheers,
