About Urubongs Rajsombhoj

  • Urubongs Rajsombhoj (Thai: ????????????????; RTGS: Uruphong Ratchasomphot; 15 October 1893 – 20 September 1909), was Prince of Siam (later Thailand).
  • He was a son of Chulalongkorn of Siam.
  • His mother was The Noble Consort (Chao Chom Manda) Luean Niyavananda, daughter of Lord (Phra) Narindrabhorn and Prik Niyavananda.
  • His elder full sister, Princess Lavad Voraong, died in infancy. As a child he joined his father on trips to many places, including Europe.
  • Unlike the other princes, Urubongs was not educated in Europe, but instead received instruction from foreign teachers at a private residence in Siam. He died on 20 September 1909, on King Chulalongkorn's birthday, at the age of 15.
  • His death brought sadness to the members of the Royal Family, especially King Chulalongkorn.
  • The king ordered the building of a bridge in the city with sculptures of Prince Urubongs set into both sides.
  • King Chulalongkorn named the bridge after his son; Urubongs Bridge, where Urubongs Avenue crossed.
  • This bridge was eventually demolished but Urubongs Road and Urubongs Intersection remain today.
