Chitralada Royal Villa (Thai: พระตำหนักจิตรลดารโหฐาน; rtgs: Chit Lada Raho-than) is a royal villa located within Dusit Palace. This villa is the unofficial permanent-residence of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit. King Bhumibol was the first king in the Chakri dynasty to live in the Chitralda. He moved there after the death of his older brother, King Rama VIII in the Grand Palace. The palace grounds, which are surrounded by a moat and guarded by the royal guards, also contain the Chitralada School, initially established for the children of the royal family and palace staffs. Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti is a pupil in the Chitralada School. The school is considered the most exclusive in Thailand.
