★★★★★11 months agoA really nice museum in the old city of Bangkok. Especially recommended if you are interested in Thai history during the change from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy. With a calm atmosphere (not too many visitors during my visit), you can immensely enjoy the story of King Rama VII and his wife. The larger buidling shares the information about the development of democracy in Thailand. You can enter free of charge.

★★★★★a year agoI enjoyed this museum. There was no fee to enter, you just need to fill up a visitor log. There's also free parking at the back if you have a motorcycle or a car. The museum was well laid out and properly curated. I learned so many things about the Siamese Kingdom, King Prahadjipok and his family and how the current government (constitutional monarchy) was formed. We were the only tourists so we had the museum to ourselves then there was a group of highschool kids that caught up to us. If you are looking for something to do to fill in a few hours of your day, I recommend visiting this museum.
