Names needed for new Government House reception building, rooms

By The Nation

 

 

The government is sorting through suggestions for names for the new reception building of Government House. The building was commissioned by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha himself to receive foreign dignitaries.
 

General Wilas Arunsri, secretary-general to the Prime Minister, said on Friday that over 100 names have been submitted for consideration so far, and he would also like to invite the media to propose more names for consideration.

 

The Bt137 million structure takes its architectural cues from Thai Ku Fah and has been under construction since last year under the supervision of the Post Engineer Department.

 

The National News Bureau of Thailand has reported that the new building will likely be opened for use in August or September with a name for the structure to be chosen soon.

 

The Fine Arts Department has submitted a list of over 20 potential names to the Prime Minister for his consideration, it said.

 

The list includes suggestions such as Pairojdhammarat and Pitakdhammadhorn, for the building’s two reception rooms, the news bureau said.

 

Gen Wilas said during an inspection Friday that there has been ongoing decoration work, as well as gardening work around the compound.

 "The building was commissioned by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha himself to receive foreign dignitaries."

 

He obviously anticipates being around for quite a while then...

 

Anyway, back to the question. Could I suggest they be named "The Ozymandias Suites." After Shelley's poem:

 

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.[4]
