Classical western sculpture photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Phra Thinang Uthayan Phumisathian was the favourite residence of King
Chulalongkorn when he stayed at Bang Pa-In Palace, sometimes as often as three times a year. Built in 1877 of wood in the style of a two-storey Swiss chalet,
the mansion was painted in two toned of green. In the words of Prince Ookhtomsky, a Russian officer who accompanied the Czarevitch, the future Czar Nicholas II of Russia, on a visit in 1890, it was "furnished luxuriously and with refined taste and comfort." Unfortunately, while undergoing a minor repairs
it was accidentally burnt down in 1938.
