THAILAND ~Bangkok - Royal Thai Servey Department ~

Great looking building in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok...thanks once again for this lovely surprise Jobbo!!
This two-storey complex is in the European style and has five porches, each of which is decorated with beautiful stucco's. It was opened by King Rama V in September 1892. It first served as the building of Saranrom Military School, a pre-cadet school, and later as the office of the Royal Thai Army's Joint Staff Department before the Royal Thai Survey Department was moved there in 1931.

The Royal Thai Survey Department is responsible for land and air surveying activities and producing topographic maps for official and public use.
