H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr (Chum Abhaivongs) was descended from a long line which had governed in Cambodia. H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr was born in Battambong province of Cambodia on 29 July 1861 while his father H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr was intially appointed Phya Abhaibhitaksa, as his father’s assistant to the province of Battambong.
H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr replaced H.E. Chao Phya Kathathorn Thoranintra as the Regent of Battambong province, when his father passed away in 1892.
The coronation of Prince Nak Ong Eng as King of Cambodia had led to agreement that parts of Cambodia including Battambong. Siam Reap and Sri Sopon would be administered by Siamese Governors
H.E. Chao Phya abhaibhubejhr was known to be unlike his predecessors as a consequence of his studies in the Siamese capital of Bangkok. He had made himself familiar with the general customs of Siam and of the policies of Siam’s King Rama V. He was noted for his great sincerity and devoton to King Rama V. In 1903 H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr was appointed as the Governor of Burapha district and Battambong province in which he was recognized for his efficient governance.
The relationship between Siam and France was far from peaceful during the reign of His Majesty King Rama V. By treaties of 1904 and 1907 the Kingdom of Siam gave up Battambong province to obtain jurisdiction over Asiatic Franch subjects. H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr with his family and his followers then decided to move to Bangkok. However. H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr enjoyed staying in the Siamese province of Prachinburi and decided to settle here. In order to show respect to H.M. King Rama V.H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr built a large and very beautiful building on his land. In hope that this building would be used to receive H.M. King Rama V on his next visit to Prachinburi. But H.M. King Rama V passed away in 1910. Later on, this building was used to receive H.M. King Rama VI on his visit to Prachinburi in 1911.
The Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Building was built in 1909 by the Oward Krskine Company similar to H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr’s old residence in Battambong province. Other than being used to receive H.M. King Rama VI in 1911. The building in Prachinburi was used several times for the Siamese Royal Family.
In his later years, H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr suffered from diabetes. As he settled in Prachinburi he greatly developed the region by donating large sums of his monney for charities and public institution including schools, hospitals and temples. Kaeow Phichit Temple on the opposite bank of the Prachinburi River to the Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Building was built his funds.
H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr himself never lived in the building but his funeral was held there when he passed away on 27 August 1922. After his death, H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr,s descendants gave the building to H.M.King Rama VI. His Majesty later gave the building to Queen Suvadana, H.E. Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr,s daughter.
