Dr. George McFarland was the son of Presbyterian missionaries
who left the United States for the tropics to join the Church of
Christ in 1860.
His distinguished and prolific career began at the tender age of
25 when he returned to Bangkok following studies in the United
States. He was immediately appointed Superintendent of the Siriraj
Hospital in Bangkok, and was commissioned to open The Royal
Medical College, the government's first medical school and was
then appointed Dean of the College. In addition, he continued his
brother Edwin's legacy by manufacturing Thailand's first typewriter,
which his brother had invented. He also opened Thailand's first
dental clinic, a private enterprise, and spent 16 years working on
the acclaimed McFarland Thai-English dictionary, which he published
in 1939.
After years of dedicated work in Thailand, Dr. McFarland was
granted a pension and the title of Phra Ajvidyakom by His Majesty
King Rama VI, as well as a 4.5 acre piece of land in Hua Hin,
on which he built his holiday home. While the McFarland House
which stands today is newly built, the floorboards used are from
the original house built by Dr. McFarland.
