The classic Fazal Building at the corner of Bamrung Mueang and Atsadang Roads.
The Fazal Building stands proudly at the corner of Bamrung Mueang and Atsadang Roads, directly across from the Ministry of the Interior. Completed in the 1930s during the reign of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), the building's distinctive curved design overlooks the intersection of two historical roads, giving it a unique panoramic view in the heart of Bangkok's old town.
Constructed by an Italian architectural firm, the building blends classic European stylistic elements with local design traditions. Its symmetrical lines, large windows, and balconies were carefully crafted to create a sense of openness and fluidity, maximizing usable space while emphasizing a clean, timeless aesthetic that contributes to the building's lasting charm.
The ground floor once housed the renowned E.M. Katib department store, known for its exclusive collection of fine-cut glassware. The second and third floors served as the residence of the Katib family, a functional space that simultaneously accommodated commercial and residential purposes.
A symbol of refinement in early 20th-century Bangkok.
E.M. Katib was founded in 1896 by Mr. Eusuf Ali Katib. The store originally specialized in fine-cut glassware and ceramic cups imported from European countries: France, Belgium, Germany, and England. The first location was on Charoen Krung Road before moving to the iconic Fazal Building.
The store became renowned for its collection of luxury goods, including fine-cut glassware, ceramic cups, perfumes, and fine porcelain. It proudly featured prestigious brands such as Baccarat and Val-Saint-Lambert, attracting discerning buyers and high-ranking officials of the time.
E.M. Katib also enjoyed royal patronage. The royal family granted the store privileged access to procure exclusive European goods on their behalf, including glassware and ceramics fit for the palace. Evidence of this royal connection is still apparent today: porcelain bowls and plates bearing the seal of the equestrian statue of King Chulalongkorn, passed down through generations to the current heirs of the Katib family.
