Rajabhakti Park (Thai: อุทยานราชภักดิ์, RTGS: Utthayan Ratchaphak, pronounced [ʔùt.tʰā.jāːn râːt.t͡ɕʰā.pʰák]) is a historically themed park honouring past Thai kings from the Sukhothai period to the current royal house of Chakri. It is in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand. It was built by the Royal Thai Army, on Thai Army property, with approximately one billion baht (US$28 million) in funds donated by the public and private sectors. King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave the historical park the name "Rajabhakti Park", which means 'the park that has been built with people's loyalty to the monarchs'.[1] The park occupies an area of 222 rai (355,200 m2 or 36 ha).[2]
