Himmaphan House or Sam Saen ParkThe place is situated on the side of Sam Saen Road. Phra Sapphakan Hiranyakit (Choei Itsaraphakdi), the manager of Siam Commercial Bank at the time, built this place as a park open to the public for a fee, to come visit and enjoy. The construction was complete in 1908. Many buildings are in the compound; shown here is the Pink Building. Later, the ownership of the land and its premises were transferred to the Siam Commercial Bank, which was subsequently graciously bought by King Rama VI with his private funds for the Department of Sanitation of the Metropolitan Ministry for use as a sanatorium to heal people. Today the place is the Vajira Hospital.
