The Department of Corrections later moved the prison away and had Romneenat Park built meaning “Garden of the Queen Supporter” in honor of HM Queen Sirikit on her 5th cycle birthday. Outstanding are the Sculpture of Bronze Conch” in the fountain and the Corrections Museum—the four buildings exhibiting penalty equipment and the development of the Department of Corrections other than multi-purpose ground for exercise and jogging.
