Baan Phitsanulok is now back in the social spotlight after more than three decades in which its function had drastically diminished.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra strode into the grand federal host residence on Phitsanulok Road on Thursday for the first meeting with her five-member top consulting team.
On her X account, she stated that” Baan Phitsanulok is formally opened,” along with photos of her leading the advisory group inside the Bangkok mansion in the Dusit area.
The conference at Baan Phitsanulok was the first national one since the primary minister , appointed the high-profile party  , to guide her leadership early this month.
Pansak Vinyaratn heads the board. The different users are:
- Surapong Suebwonglee, assistant president
- Tongthong Chandransu
- Phongthep Thepkanjana
- Supavud Saicheua.

Baan Phitsanulok, which was constructed in 1922, is the prime minister’s established home, though Chuan Leekpai is the only leading to have spent any time there. The Venetian Gothic castle has primarily been used as a government Club guest house.
Baan Phitsanulok is perhaps best remembered for being the control center used by primary secretary Chatichai Choonhavan between 1988 and 1991, when Mr. Pansak presided over a seven-member consulting team. One of its most well-known laws was to “turn battlefields into markets” in a location that is still recovering from the Vietnam War and the unrest in Cambodia.
Chatichai’s experts were called the Baan Phitsanulok consulting team. Their position came to an end when Chatichai was ousted in a revolution in 1991.
Mr Pansak was also an assistant on monetary scheme for Ms Paetongtarn’s parents, Thaksin Shinawatra, when he was the prime minister.
