History

King Chulalongkorn planned to set up a centralized taxing system in Siam. Chulalongkorn established the Ratsadakorn-bhibhathana building on 4 June 1873 to improve efficiency, It later became the Customs Department. The organization and management became more effective under the control of the Royal Treasury Ministry and the Ministry of Finance.

Chulalongkorn appointed Chaturonrasmi to lead the organization. The building was designed and built by an Italian. The Crown Property Bureau, which originally collected the monarchy;s assets. One of the purposes was to counter the influence of the Bunnag family who had been in control of wealth collection since early Rattanakosin.

In 1875, the Royal Treasury Ministry was established at the Ratsadakorn-bhibhathana Building.
