Bang Lamphu Museum

A great museum to visit if you are in the area. Despite a cheap 30thb ticket the value brought by the guides and exhibition itself is great. Good to hide from the hit all rooms are air conditioned. With the ticket there is a discount in a coffee shop downstairs

Nice museum for 30 THB entry. Note that the second floor (which is where most of the displays are) is only accessible with their guide. When I was there, it was 10.30 am when the tour started.

This building used to be a printing house before they converted it to a museum. Apparently every 17-19 December, they open the rooftop to the public.

Allocate at least an hour for the tour. Ground floor exhibits are for your viewing pleasure until the guide is available. You’re allowed to take photographs, but no videos.

A short walk from Phra Arthit Pier, passing by the Phra Sumen Fort and a row of shop houses. There are tours every half hour and the guides are lovely:) The first part of the tour introduces the government agency responsible for the development and maintenance of the museum. The second part - in a joint building - tells the history of the district, from its early market days to its multicultural community.

Bang Lamphu Museum is located on Phra Sumen Road, and is walkable from Phra Artit Road.

The museum is quite local but surprising, the space seems to be one of my favorite museum in Thailand. Ticket price for docent to give us a 1 hour tour is only 30 Baht. The tour goes on every half an hour and each tour capacity is around 8-10 people at max.

Although the tour is based on Thai Language, the caption of some of the archaeological finds/items can be in English Description.

The museum shows us the fascinating story of Banglumphu old days where market selling and its district are what is known for. There's also history learning part on how land was developed from time to time and even how nickel/coin are crafted and used for from the old times.

An absolute wonderful museum that worth every penny. Some of the visitors (if his/her family member lives around here during 40s/50s) will surely inspired by those "nostalgic feeling" from start to the end.

Still photos are permitted only.

A trip into the history and how Bangkok is what it is today. This history tour is well worth a visit, and the small fee, to get a personal tour. My tour guide was fabulous, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

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.
