    If you are in the area, please stop by for a fun learning experience about this old historic part of Bangkok called Bang Lamphu. The museum is filled with life sized historical objects. Really cool! It costs 10 baht per person. The guide spoke Thai but today we were lucky to have a 2nd guide interpret in English. The guides are college student interns. I loved this find.

    Nice museum which tells you history of Bangkok old town and the old Banglumphu area. They also provide guided tour with good English speaking guide. At the top floor, you can get a good panoramic view of Rama 8 suspension bridge and the old fort nearby. Highly recommend.
