Tag: King Bao Dai

Emperor Bao Dai, the final monarch of Vietnam, certainly had a taste for the finer things in life, as evidenced by his lavish palaces. Beyond the three famous palaces in the dreamy city of Dalat, he also owned several other stately residences that were no less grand and opulent. These majestic abodes were intimately tied to his life and the beautiful women who accompanied him.

From the time of King Minh Mang onwards, the succeeding kings have refrained from crowning their wives as the Queen during their reigns. The reason behind this decision remains a mystery.

This is a king who has studied abroad in the West, with a modern mindset, and is also the first king to get vaccinated to prevent diseases.
