    The Royal Barge Museum should be rated as one the best attractions in Bangkok!

    While we walked around the several historic royal barges, we could see multiple tour boats stop out in the water, say a few words, and keep moving. They don't know what they missed. These boats, at anchor in the water inside the boathouse, have very...More

    A real little treasure of a museum. Lots of great examples of Thai boats that both our kids enjoyed.

    Truely wonderful.

    As an avid visitor to Ayutthaya the ratings on this museum should be much higher. Google maps gives the correct directions right up to the point where you are at it but don’t know where it is! It shows a very small Soi which there...More

    Highly recommend!

    This was amazing! It was a recommendation and we were so happy to go. We had a personal tour of the boats, complete with history, by the son of the original boat maker. Do not miss this museum. DO NOT.

    Impressive private museum - a work of love

    A half-century of work and knowledge around Thai maritime history preserved and displayed. The owners took the time to answer and explain (in Thai to my wife and her nephew), but most of the signage is in both Thai and English. A great opportunity to...More
