Buraphaphirom Palace (Thai: วังบูรพาภิรมย์) was a palace situated in Bangkok, Thailand, and was built to be the residence of Prince Bhanurangsi Savangwongse, the origin of the royal family surname Bhanubandhu.
The palace was built in the year 1875 according to the order of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) with a colonial style by Italian architect Joachim Grassi in majestic two stories of three buildings. Its name means "Delightful East Palace", regarded as another palace that was very grand. Its area was extensive from the road from Maha Chai Fort through Saphan Lek.
After World War II, it became an abandoned palace. It was rented as Bhanuthat girls' school. Later, the heir of the prince therefore decided to sell it to businessman Osot Kosin in the year 1951 with a price of nearly 13 million baht to build as a new shopping and entertainment districts. The demolition was completed in 1954 and was rebuilt as three movie theaters namely Kings, Queens, Grand (not counting the Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre, which was also nearby). Since then the original location of the Buraphaphirom Palace became Bangkok's most bustling commercial district in the 1950s to 1960s under the name of Wang Burapha, which was known as the center of youngsters of that era.
