Constructed in one and a half months, this movie set was made of 95% wood. When filming was completed, the set was not dismantled and the local government had it made a permanent structure.

Occupying an area of 675 square metres, the Summer Palace has four sections: Jetty Pavilion, Main Building, Courtyard and Anna's House. "Anna and the King" is the story of the relationship between young, widowed school teacher Anna Leonowens (played by Jodie Foster) and King Mongkut of Siam (played by Chow Yuen Fatt) who hired her to teach his heir, Prince Chulalongkorn. The building, which was reconstructed with more durable materials by Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), now houses the props used in the movie including costumes, furniture and other furnishings.

You will find a touch of the modern within this old Thai replica.

The Langkawi Summer Palace has a Thai restaurant and souvenir shop on its grounds.

You can enjoy traditional Thai performances held throughout the day as well as the movie "Anna & The King", as you sample some delicious Thai food at the restaurant.

At the souvenir shop, you are free to browse through products from Chiengmai - mini cabinets, mini thrones, pretty floating candles and colourful Thai silks - before making your choices of souvenirs to take home.

The Summer Palace is open to the public from 9 a.m. until 10 pm.

Entrance fee is RM3 for adults and RM2 for children.
