Original Vintage Luggage Label of Phya Thai Palace in Bangkok, Thailand.
Phya Thai Palace was built in 1909 and was used by King Rama V and his wife as a royal retreat. His son King Rama VI later transformed it into a fancy Italian Renaissance-inspired villa. After Rama VI’s reign, the palace was turned into a luxury hotel, and later an army hospital in his honor. Today, the palace serves as part of the Royal Thai Army's medical headquarters, with some areas now functioning as a museum.
