This neighborhood, in Charoenkrung Soi 30, is now called Captain Bush Lane. It was home to many members of Bangkok’s early European expatriate community, during the 19th and 20th centuries, including Captain John Bush, an influential English sea captain.

 

In 1857, Captain John Bush was appointed Harbour Master of the Central Harbour Department by King Rama the 4th. He held that position for 30 years, serving Kings Rama the 4th and 5th. He became Admiral Bush and was granted the royal title of Phraya Wisuth Sakoradith.

 

His contributions to Siam, as Thailand was called at the time, were highly valued by both the kings he served.
