* NamesTheSame: Phra Bisal Sukhumvit was an ingeneer who boosted sanitation, irrigation and especially road infrastructure in Thailand from the 30's to the 40's. He took part of the resistance against Japanese occupation during World War II and the reconstruction effort. A district of Bangkok and a major highway are named after him.
The Baron having boosted the city and his region, the name somehow fits.
