The residence, located approximately 150km east of Bangkok, was built in 1909 for King Rama V to stay during his next royal visit to Prachinburi, but the king died in 1910 and never got to stay here. However, his son King Rama VI became a frequent visitor. The building was named after the man who funded the construction, Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr who was the governor of Prachinburi at the time.
