Somdej Chaopraya Institute
of Psychiatry is the first psychiatric
hospital in Thailand named
“Hospital for the Desperate
People”. It is located at Khlong
San. This is to provide treatment

The mentally retarded hospital
painted the roof of every building in

hospital's name casually "Red
Roof" and became an expression that
conveys the meaning of a lunatic, a
mentally ill person.
