Thanpuying Lursakdi Sampatisiri (20 February 19199 November 2010; (タイ語:เลอศักดิ์ สมบัติศิริ); ; (:lɤːsàk sǒmbàtsìrì)) was the daughter of Nai Lert Sreshthaputa and the only heir of the business and real estate empire founded in 1894 known as Nai Lert Group.〔(Nai Lert Group website )〕 As one of Thailand’s most prominent businesswomen, Lursakdi created one of the first international hotels in Bangkok, The Hilton International Bangkok at Nai Lert Park. Today the hotel is known as Swissotel Nai Lert Park,〔(Swissotel Nai Lert Park )〕 Bangkok and remains the flagship of the real estate portfolio of the group. ==Early days==
Lursakdi as a young woman was sent to Japan in the 1930s by her father who considered that it would be there that the economic power would be centered in his daughter's generation. She could only attend a college as the Japanese universities did not accept women at that time. When she returned to Thailand, her father send her to work for the Office of Civil Servants Commission to find out how the Government worked. After three years of Government service, she returned to the family business living as she describes herself a "life of privilege, rather than family duty, within Thailand's small economic elite" even though there was no male heir and the obligations as sole heir were omnipresent. Nai Lert died suddenly when she was 27 years old and she found herself at the helm of his business empire. The White Bus Company dominated the city's transport routes, the ferries of the White Boat Company plied the canals of Bangkok and the ice factories supplied the majority of the city's population. These were conservative times for Thai women, so when Lursakdi took over she became the first and only female in the company but she manage to convince the managers to stay and keep the company going. She married Khun Binich Sampatisiri in 1930 who himself came from a prestigious background of public servants, his father Srisena Sampatisiri〔(Thailand Foreign Affairs Ministers )〕 served as ambassador to Japan and other countries in the 1930s and 40s and was Thailand's Foreign Minister from 1944 to 1945〔(Thai Government 11th Cabinet )〕 after which he shortly served as Minister of Interior in the 14th Thai Cabinet.〔(Thai Government 14th Cabinet )〕 Khun Binich himself served as the Chief of the Traditional Arts Division of the Department of Fine Arts at the Ministry of Education for The Royal Thai Government and was a frequent host to overseas visitors and celebrities being known for his sense of hospitality and entertainment (US comic Joey Adams mentions his encounter with Khun Binich in his book "On The Road for Uncle Sam").〔(On the Road for Uncle Sam by Joey Adams (1963) )〕
