government media centre

The principal purpose of the Nari Samason Building is to serve as a government media centre with the same room in the right wing still used to hold press conferences, usually by the Government Spokesperson. The exterior of the building remains the same except for the washed stone walls with stucco patterns being repaired and repainted. While the Fine Arts Department is responsible for the upkeep of the building’s exterior, the interior is maintained by the Royal Thai Army, which regularly installs new carpets, curtains, air conditioning, and press conference backdrops to present a modern appearance.
