Bank of Thailand Museum & Bang Khunphrom Palace |
The palace was once
the residence of H.R.H. Prince Baripatra Sukhumbhand,
the 33rd son of King Rama V. The construction of the main
building (or tamnak yai) was finished in 1906 before another
building called tamnak somdet was built to be the residence
of his mother, H.M. Queen Sukhumala Marasri. Different
ages of building resulted in different art styles of the
whole palace. But they magically created the stunning
impression for the beholders.
After the political transformation in 1932, the prince
and his family moved to Bandung, Indonesia and Bang Khunphrom
palace was turned into the offices for several organizations.
Since 1992, the palace has become the Bank of Thailand
National Museum featuring the prince’s life, the
history of the central bank and Thai and foreign currencies.
To admire the beauty of the palace, visitors are welcomed
with an advance booking over the telephone so that the
museum can arrange a tour guide for you.
