King's residential chamber
As you enter the residential chamber, you see a replica stupa and some boards explaining the palace and the king in detail.

I found the main attraction to be is its octagonal ceiling, which is covered with a colourful simple design, and lit by 16 windows.

| Ceiling in residential chamber. The outer dome is circular. |
The arches leading to the ceiling are simple yet pretty.
 |
| 8 arches for 8 sides of the ceiling. The edge of the arches have stucco floral designs. |
 |
| The pillars surrounding the centre of the chamber. |
Some of the original paintings can still be seen on the walls.
 |
| Some original wall paintings have been recovered, which is quite amazing given the fact that it was pretty much destroyed over 400 years. |
 |
| Painting of a dancing girl? I imagine some dye last longer than the others (looks like the red and black lasted). |
