Nice museum for a visit to understand the history of the banglamphu area. 30baht for the mandatory scheduled 1-hour guided exhibition on the second level. There was a free exhibition on the first level that wasn’t too informative.

The coin minting/treasury portion was slightly bland; granted that the museum is funded by the treasury department. The gem was the second half portion covering the history of the area. Very modern and well-kept exhibition.

Unfortunately the 2nd level exhibition can only be done with a guided tour. You will not be allowed to self-explore the exhibition after the guided tour is completed.

So much potential but it was mostly a surface level explanation by the guide. I would’ve gained more if we could explore on our own. However still worth a visit as the exhibition was quite well-done. It even had braille labels as the docent informed that they do have visually and hearing impaired visitors visiting.

Beautiful place. Lots of nice art pieces to lose yourself in. Wasn’t too crowded when i went at around 2pm. Made for a pleasing experience. Probably no need to buy the tickets beforehand. There wasn’t any queue.

Not outside food and drinks allowed. You’ll have to either throw or leave them at entrance.
