Wang Pramuan (วังประมวญ)
Thai.
‘Combined Palace’. Name of the royal residence of
Prince
Phitayalongkorn
(fig.),
a nephew to King
Mongkut,
and later of his son
Phisadet Ratchani,
located
on a 12
rai
plot of royal land on Pramuan Road in the
khwaeng
Silom,
in
Bangkok's
khet
Bangrak. It consists of a two-storey house, which was designed by
Momchao
Wothayakon Worawan
(โวฒยากร วรวรรณ), an architect
and a grandson of King
Rama IV.
Prior to moving to Wang Pramuan, the
Phitayalongkorn family had lived in
a wooden palace furnished in neoclassical Adams style located along
Khlong
Bang Luang (คลองบางหลวง), near Charoen Phaat Bridge (สะพานเจริญพาศน์).
After acquiring the plot of land in
on Pramuan Road, the former palace was dismantled and replaced by a
printer shop named Rohng Pim Pramuan Mark (โรงพิมพ์ประมวณมาร์ค),
after the penname of Wiphawadi Ratchani (วิภาวดี รัชนี),
i.e.
Wiphawadi Rangsit, the
daughter of Prince
Phitayalongkorn,
who lived here during her
childhood.
