PRAYA PALAZZO * * * *
Praya Palazzo is a historic hotel located in Bangkok. Its history dates back to 1923, when Bangkok welcomed many Italian artists who came to work under the commission of King Rama V. Famous artists such as Galileo Chini and Carlo Rigoli worked on projects all over the city. Praya Chollabhumipanish, a nobleman in the customs department of the royal court, was commissioned to design and build the villa, strongly influenced by these Italian artists. The original building, called "Baan Bang Yee Khan", is typical of the Palladio architecture of the period. Situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, it offered an ideal vantage point for the owner's customs duties and residence. After having been a home for a noble family and then a school, the building was restored and renovated in 2009 to become the Praya Palazzo Hotel. The hotel also boasts a restaurant that has received high praise from the Bangkok community. Praya Palazzo is a unique place where guests can enjoy the history and charm of Bangkok.
