Known locally as Baan Louis, the Louis T. Leonowens House is often mentioned because of its indirect but well-known link to The King and I. The connection comes through Anna Leonowens, the mother of Louis T. Leonowens. Anna served in the 1860s as tutor to the children of King Mongkut (Rama IV), an experience that later became the basis for Western novels, stage productions, and films.
