If you went to Royal Palace first, then the ticket can be used to enter Vimanmek Mansion, as well as Museum Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall and Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. It's a package ticket which valid for 7 days.

We have to wear polite dress (no shorts, no sleeveless clothes). But don't worry, if you wear short, they sell Sarong, which you can purchased for wear. The price is variety, based on which sarong do you want.

The highlight of the Dusit Park is Vimanmek Teak Mansion said to be the world’s largest golden teak mansion, built with nary a single nail. For all its finery, grand staircases, octagonal rooms and lattice walls, which are nothing short of magnificent, it is surprisingly serene and intimate.
