Description: |
|
The East Asiatic Building is a historic building in Bangkok's
Bang Rak District. It sits on the eastern bank of the Chao
Phraya River, opposite the Oriental Hotel on Soi Charoen Krung
40 and adjacent to the Catholic Mission and Assumption
Cathedral. The building was built in 1900 in Renaissance Revival
style to designs by Annibale Rigotti, and served as the
headquarters of the East Asiatic Company (Thailand) until 1995.
The building is well-conserved, and received the ASA
Architectural Conservation Award in 1984. Nowadays, it is used
as a commercial event space, administrated by Charoenkrung
Studio, and is often rented as a filming location. The building
is generally closed to the public. |
