ROMMANINAT PARK

In 1889, King Rama V ordered the purchase of this land to build a place of detention and the training and rehabilitation of the inmates. When construction was complete, it was called, Khuk Mahantathot or "New Prison." The name has been changed many times, the most recent being to Bangkok Special Prison.

To celebrate HM Queen Sirikit's Fifth Cycle birthday in 1992, the Department of Corrections moved the prison out and built Rommaninat Park meaning "Park of the Queen Our Refuge."

Bronze Sculpture - Conch Shell:
Sited in a commemorative fountain at the highest point of the park. The shell and its platter are cast in alloy and plated with bronze. Inside it are the holy cloth of Mahasolotmongkol and a real shell.

Corrections Museum:
Located on Mahachai Road, it comprises of four buildings: Criminal Court, Temporary Building, Shops of the Correction Department, and Section 9 Building. Inside displays instruments of punishment and evolution of punishment in Thailand.

There is also a multi-purpose space in the park with a children's playground, exercise area, footpaths and jogging tracks.
