'''Suan Pakkad Palace''' or ''Suan Pakkard Palace'' ({{lang-th|สวนผักกาด}}), is a museum in [[Bangkok, Thailand]]. It is located on Sri Ayutthaya Road south of the [[Victory Monument (Bangkok)|Victory Monument]]. The museum has Thai [[antiques]] on display, including [[Ban Chiang]] [[pottery]] over 4,000 years old. Originally the home of Prince [[Chumbhotpong Paripatra]] and his wife, they converted in into a museum which opened in [[1952]]. The museum features a group of four traditional Thai houses with covered hallways between them.
The name Suan Pakkad translates as "Cabbage Patch", but the museum's collection of five traditional [[Pavilion (structure)|pavilion]]s is one of the best examples of traditional domestic [[architecture]] in the city. The Lacquer Pavilion is the most striking building, and is over 450 years old.
