About the company:

The Bank of Thailand Museum is located in the beautiful Bang Khun Phrom Palace, which has a long history. The museum officially opened in 1993.

The purpose of the museum is to preserve the Thai currency, as well as research and study the history of the development of Thai money, so each hall of the palace (14 rooms in total) presents money from different eras. In the hall of ancient coins you can see the most ancient coins (Funan, Dvaravati, Sri Vijaya and others), in the Pot Duang hall there are coins that were used before the reign of King Rama V, in the hall of Thai paper money there are May money and modern banknotes, and in the hall of "Gold and Commemorative Coins" there are gold, silver and nickel coins, gold bars, bonds and the like.

You must enter the palace with your shoes off. The museum is open from half 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
