The Royal Palaces and Halls
Nongkhran Samosorn Hall was built to serve as a hall for use by all members of royalty, and was originally a part of Suan Sunandha Palace. It is now an office of the Department of Local Administration, Ministry of the Interior.
The one-storey building is in the Renaissance style. Viewed from the outside, it appears to be of two storeys. The building is painted cream with pink roof. On the upper parts, there are rows of pointed arch windows on all sides. Below there are doors on all sides opening onto the verandah that runs around the building. The ceilings and mantel over the doors are decorated with Western-style murals.
Suan Sunandha was the residence of consorts and princesses. Nongkhran Samosorn Hall was used as the meeting hall and private dining rooms. The building could be used for functions by any member of royalty and was not considered the pro pert y of anyone in particular.
Part of Suan Sunandha is now Rajaphat Institute Suan Sunandha while the Nongkhran Samosorn Hall, once used as the Bangkok City Hall, has become an office of the Department of Local Administration.
