It was built in the reign of King
Vajiravudh (fig.)
and initially served as
the residence of General
Chao Phraya
Ram Rakhop
and his family. When the
general eventually
moved, he sold it
to the government during
the time when
Phibun Songkram
(fig.)
was premier, to be used
as a reception venue for
foreign
guests of the
government, rejecting a
bid from the Japanese
government, who wanted
to turn it into their
Embassy. |
