  The palace/museum is small and limited on information. It's quite beautiful in places and has some interesting articles to look at but I was done in about 30 minutes. There are free lockers to leave bags and cameras in which you're not allowed to take into the palace itself. It felt secure. The grounds are nice but limited shade on hot days. 30,000 kip entry cost. Overall if you're nearby and have the time take a look but don't worry about missing it if you have a packed schedule.

  Interesting place, modest palace by many comparisons, but though. Taking photos is not allowed, unclear why? There are also presented cars of the last king, cars are partly in need-for-restoration state, as are some buildings in the complex. Hope, those works will be taken in coming years.
