For those who don't know where to go on weekends.

Tired of shopping malls, want to change the atmosphere not far from Bangkok.

Embark on a journey through time as we explore four trendy tourist destinations in Nakhon Pathom.

It is recommended to arrive in Nakhon Pathom no later than 10:00 AM to allow ample time for leisurely exploration without feeling rushed.

(Since we're talking about movie locations today, let's call each place a "scene." We have Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit as our idol.)

Scene 1: Exterior / Museum House / Day

We left Bangkok by taking several buses. Upon arrival at our destination, we each hailed a motorcycle taxi.

As the museum house is located in a rather deep alley (Ready, let's go, Mr. Suchart).


Scene 2: Interior / Museum House / Day

Admission fee: Adults 30 baht each, children over 150 cm tall 10 baht each, children free. There are 3 floors inside.

Ground floor: bakery, toy store, pharmacy, souvenir shop

Second floor, printing house, cinema, barber shop, photo shop

Third floor, classroom, district office, record store

Roughly like this.

Scene 3 Interior / Museum House / Day

Visiting here reminds us of our childhood, when film cameras were the norm and our homes were filled with photo albums. Now, we store our photos solely on computers.

The barbershop reminds us of the movie "Fan Chan."


Scene 6 Interior / Museum House / Day

Upon seeing this classroom, I let out a scream. It brought back memories of my elementary school days, with its blackboard and the chore of erasing it. I wonder if today's elementary school students experience the same.

The Film Archive is a must-visit for film enthusiasts. This Thai film museum houses various artifacts and equipment from the Thai film industry. Open every Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays, admission is free. Additionally, the complex includes Maya Town, the Sri Salaya Cinema, and a library and audiovisual center, offering a wealth of knowledge about film. (However, I have forgotten the specifics at this time.) The location is also ideal for photography enthusiasts.

We took a bus from the vicinity of the museum to the Film Archive (the Film Archive is located on a main road and is easy to find).

Scene 21: Interior / Jesada Technical Museum / Afternoon

The Jesada Museum houses a vast collection of vintage automobiles, captivating enthusiasts and casual observers alike. While public transportation access is limited due to its secluded location, the museum's allure warrants the taxi fare we shared with friends.

Currently, part of the palace is used as the Nakhon Pathom Provincial Hall, while another part is used by Silpakorn University. To visit the palace, adults pay 30 baht, students pay 10 baht, and foreigners pay 50 baht.
