The Bang Khun Phrom Palace (Thai: วังบางขุนพรหม) is a former royal residence in Bangkok, Thailand. It served as the residence of Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu until his forced exile following the Siamese revolution of 1932. The palace is located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, on Samsen Road, Phra Nakhon District. It consists of two main buildings, the road-facing Tamnak Yai (main residence) and the river-facing Tamnak Somdet (residence of Queen Sukhumala Marasri, who was mother of the Prince). The main residence, designed by Mario Tamagno in neo-Baroque/Rococo style, was built in 1901–1902, while the Queen's residence was built around 1913 to designs by Karl Döhring in the Jugendstil or German Art Nouveau style. Following the revolution, the palace served as the site of several government offices until it became the headquarters of the Bank of Thailand in 1945. It now serves as a museum, and housed the Bank of Thailand Museum until 2017, when its main exhibition was moved to the Bank of Thailand Learning Center housed in the opposite former bank note printing press building. The palace building is a registered ancient monument, and received the ASA Architectural Conservation Award in 1993.

Chakraphong Mosque

Chakraphong Mosque (Thai: มัสยิดจักรพงษ์) is a historic mosque in Bangkok. It is considered the oldest mosque located in the inner city area, or Rattanakosin Island near the Grand Palace and royal field Sanam Luang. This mosque dating back to the King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I)'s reign during the early Rattanakosin period. It was built by war captives brought back to Bangkok from Pattani after the autonomous Muslim sultanate in the south was subjugated by an army commanded by the younger brother of the King, Somdet Phra Bawornrajchao Maha Sura Singhanat. His Majesty the King allowed the Pattani Muslims to build houses and a mosque within the city walls, granting them land in Ban Tuek Din (along present-day Ratchadamnoen avenue near the Democracy Monument and Satriwitthaya School) and in Bang Lamphu (near Chakraphong road). Later, during King Nangklao (Rama III)'s reign, descendants of some of these people settled down along the banks of Khlong Maha Nak canal (now is Maha Nak Mosque in Bobae area). In addition, these captives were also goldsmiths serving in the royal court of the King Phutthayotfa Chulalok. They were adept at making the decorative objects and other regalia needed for royal ceremonies. Originally, it was named "Surao Tong Pu" (สุเหร่าตองปุ) according to the names of nearby wat (Thai temple), Wat Tong Pu (later Wat Chana Songkhram). It was renamed Chakraphong Mosque according to the name of the road where its location, Chakraphong road (or spelled Chakrabongse), the short road named in honour of Prince Chakrabongse, who was one of the sons of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). Formerly, the building was entirely wooden. And renovated into a three-story yellow concrete building today.
