The residence of the Dutch ambassador in Thailand
Amidst Bangkok's imposing urbanism – the glass buildings, the dusty construction sites, the concrete skytrain that cuts through Sukhumvit – Wittayu Road seems a curious exception. A huge stretch of the road is leafy and green, marking the hallowed grounds of historic embassies and residences in Bangkok. Wittayu (Wireless) is named after Thailand's first radio broadcasting station, but it might as well be called Thailand's 'Embassy Row'. One of these embassies belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
