This palace was built during the reign of King Rama IV to be given to his crown prince who later became King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and lies to the east of the Royal Grand Palace. In 1868 King Rama V gave Saranrom Palace to his eldest brother, Prince Kroma Phra Chakrabaddibongse. Later this palace became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where state guests were received. King Rama VI lived here until he ascended the throne when he then returned the palace to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1926.

Next to the Palace King Rama IV built the beautiful Saranrom Royal Garden. King Rama V made it a zoological garden with many trees and flowering plants until Dusit Zoo was built and the animals were moved there.
