The Thai pavillon in the Denantou Park
The Thai pavilion, beautifully set in the Denantou park, overlooking the lake of Geneva and the mountains, is a witness to the deep relationship between H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and the town of Lausanne.
It is here that H.M. the King, his brother and family, spent many years and His Majesty accomplished his university studies before ascending to the throne of Thailand.
The pavilion, a precious gift of His Majesty in memory of the happy years spent in Switzerland, was built in Thailand and taken to pieces again before being shipped to Lausanne where the pavilion was then reassembled by Thai workmen according to ancestral traditions.
It was inaugurated by H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Siridhorn on 17th March 2009, in memory of those many happy years spent by her family in Lausanne and to show their deep gratitude towards the town and and its population.
