Princess Mother Memorial Park

Soi Somdej Chaophraya 3, Somdej Chaophraya Rd., 10600, Thailand

Description:

Princess Mother Park is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River near the King Rama I Memorial Bridge. It is built near the community of Wat Anongkharam temple, where Princess Mother Somdet Phra Srinakarindra Boromaratchonnani lived in adolescence.

In the park, you can see the princess’s house and another building, which exhibits the history of her life, as well as the history of the Wat Anongkharam community. Princess Srinakarin, the mother of King Rama IX, became famous for her kindness and efforts to improve the lives of ordinary Thai people, so it was decided to honor her memory by building a park and recreating her house.

There are two exhibition halls in the park, telling about the life and good deeds of the princess. The museum houses very personal belongings of the princess, such as the Mickey Mouse embroidery she made for the king. There's a shop near the park.

You can get to the park by taking buses No. 6, 43.
