Government House - Bangkok
Government House is geographically located at latitude 13° 45' 46" North of the Equator and longitude 100° 30' 44" East of the Prime Meridian on the Map of Thailand. Government House Bangkok, the center of state administration, can't fail to catch the eye of a visitor passing Phisanulok Road on the way to the Royal Plaza and Dusit Garden. The majestic palace-like structure is a harmonious blend of Venetian Gothic architecture and Thai design on grounds spread over 11 acres. A golden dome housing a statue of Brahma sits atop the roof. The pillars in the façade of the main building bear a close resemblance to the gilded columns of Ca'd'Oro Palace (Palazzo Ca'd'Oro or House of Gold) built in Venice in the early 15th century by the Grand Canal. In 1923, King Rama VI commissioned Annibale Rigotti, one of the Italian architects responsible for the Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall to design the building. Originally known as Ban Norasingh, the building was meant as the family residence of Chao Phraya Ram Raghop, a favorite general.
