Come for a relaxing stroll in the cool weather at the "Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Museum".

The Banglampu Museum: A Historical and Cultural Hub in the Heart of Bangkok

The Banglampu Museum, situated on Phra Athit Road along the Banglampu Canal near Phra Sumeru Fort, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of this historic Bangkok neighborhood. Originally established as the Teachers' Council Printing House (Wat Sangwet Printing School), the museum occupies a meticulously restored building that served as the first printing press and training center for printers in Thailand.

Boasting a history dating back to the reign of King Rama I, the Banglampu Museum was designated a historical building by the Fine Arts Department in 1943. Today, it stands as a prominent tourist destination within the Rattanakosin Island area and a valuable educational resource for exploring the cultural heritage of the Banglampu community.

This modern museum skillfully blends historical artifacts and storytelling with interactive exhibits that showcase the traditional way of life in Banglampu. Visitors can immerse themselves in the neighborhood's past and present, gaining insights into its unique character and enduring legacy.

The museum is designed with a "universal design" concept, making it accessible to everyone, including the elderly, people with disabilities, and children. Braille descriptions are provided for visually impaired visitors, and audio guides in seven languages (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English, German, and French) are available for both Thai and international tourists. The exhibits are divided into two sections, housed in two buildings: the old wooden building and the L-shaped concrete building. The exhibits are curated to reflect historical themes, and many areas of the museum feature modern technology that allows visitors to interact with and select information.
