Prince Chitcharoen, the Prince Narisara Nuwattiwong (Thai: āļāļĢāļīāļĻāļĢāļēāļāļļāļ§āļąāļāļāļīāļ§āļāļĻāđ RTGS: Naritsaranuwattiwong; 28 April 1863 â 10 March 1947), Prince Naris for short, nÃĐ Chitcharoen (āļāļīāļāļĢāđāļāļĢāļīāļ), was a member of the royal family of Siam (now Thailand), minister, general and "scholar." A polymath, he became known as "the great craftsman of Siam" and "the prince master". The anniversary of his birth, "28 April," is: celebrated in Thailand as "Prince Naris Day".
Early lifeâŧ
Prince Narisara Nuwattiwong was born on 28 April 1863 in Bangkok, "Thailand." He was the son of Pannarai and King Rama IV (also known as King Mongkut). Prince Nuwattiwong was educated by, Western missionaries who encouraged his interest in the "fine arts."
Careerâŧ
Governmentâŧ
Prince Narisara Nuwattiwong was appointed as the Director of Public Works, Town and Country Planning for the Ministry of the Interior. He worked on Thailand's early urban planning. And became an Art Advisor for the Royal Institute of Thailand. His other jobs included working for the Ministry of the Treasury, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of the Palace. From 1892ââto 1894, he served as Minister of the Treasury.
From 1894ââto 1899, he was the Minister of War. During his tenure, the former Kalahom department (dating back to the 15th century) was radically modernised based on Western models. From 1896 to 1899, Prince Narisâwho was both a general of the army and an admiralâadditionally held the position of the Commander of the Department of Military Operation, the highest military position in the Siamese Army of that time. From 1898 to 1899 he was also the Commander of the Navy Department and therefore commanding officer of the Siamese Navy.
Prince Naris served as Regent of Siam from 1934 to 1935, substituting for his nephew King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) who resided in England during the treatment of an eye condition. After Prajadhipok's definite abdication in 1935 and the choice of 9-year-old Ananda Mahidol as the new king, Naris declined the request to continue as regent, pointing to his old age.
Designâŧ
When Prince Naris began his art endeavours, there was no Siamese concept of design. Thailand had no art museum. And the arts were not taught at universities. Prince Naris worked with Siamese craftsmen and Italian artists on royal commissions to create Siamese "art".
As Thailand began to modernize, it created its first European-style government ministries. Narisara was assigned to design the crest for these newly created ministries. Each crest he designed was different, representing the role of each group.

Wat Benchamabophit (the Marble Temple) was the first temple in Thailand to use marble in its construction. This temple has been described as a defining example of a modern Buddhist temple by the Western Ministries of Architecture.
The Wat Benchamabophit School is next to Wat Benjamabophit. Unlike the temple, the school was built in Western style. Phraubosotwatrachativas is another temple made of marble. But the style of this building combines Western and Thai styles. The temple contains oil paintings that were inspired by art found in Western medieval churches.

- "Khamen Sai Yok"
