Answer:
During the fourth reign of the present Thai dynasty (1851–1868), King Mongkut ordered the construction of a small palace for royal recreation in this area. The palace was built, and he named it "Pathumwan Palace," meaning "Lotus Palace". The Siam area was also the site of the nation's first airport.
When Don Mueang Airport opened in 1914, the land was freed, and inherited by Prince Mahidol Adulyadej of Songkhla, the father of the king Bhumibol Adulyadej.[1] The prince ordered the construction of the Sa Pathum Palace ("Lotus Pond Palace").[1]
Sra Pathum Palace is on 17 acres (69,000 m2) of the royal estate's 43 acres (170,000 m2). The palace hosted the weddings of the Prince Mahidol Adulyadej and the Princess Mother Srinagarindra (née Sangwan Talapat) in September 1920, and the current king and queen on 28 April 1950. The late Princess Mother formerly lived at the palace. It was renovated to serve as the residence of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.[1]
At one time, the remaining 26 acres (110,000 m2) were leased to the former Siam Intercontinental Hotel with its gardens. The walls of the hotel were shared on one side with the palace, and the other with Wat Pathum Wanaram, a temple that was built over a hundred years ago.[1]
On 11 December 1964 at exactly 10:00, the hour designated by the royal astrologer as being auspicious, the late princess mother unveiled the foundation stone of the hotel. The Siam Intercontinental was one of the first international hotels in Bangkok.[1]
