What to do and see in Riverside, Thailand: The Best Museums
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

This was an interesting place where we learned a bit of history and saw the development of Thai currency through history. The displays and activities were well thought out and excellent. This place also has a fantastic library that may be the quietest place in all of Bangkok if not all of Thailand. The whole place is interesting and fun even for kids. Simply a great place with wonderful staff. It is free and combined well with the Coin Museum Treasury Department Thailand. Thank you to the staff for being helpful and providing a good experience.

Besides the beautiful display of her majesty clothes, I enjoyed the video interviews ( in English) of her and the King. Easy to see why they were so beloved by the people

The museum tells you about the early history of Bangkok and the specifically the Banglamphu community. The displays are imfornative and the guide was eager to tell us about each exhibition. Furthermore, there is a portion about each of the seven communities in the area around the museum. After visiting you will definitely want to visit and walk around the neighborhoods. You can also explore Phra Sumen Fort, which is right next door.

This place brings you back in time to those good old days in the reign of King Rama V. It is located in the red building called Thawon Watthu Building which takes only few minutes walk from Grand Palace and there is no entrance fee. The building comprises of two sections which are King Rama V Memorial Exhibition and King Rama V Memorial Library. The Fine Arts Department registered it as the National Ancient Monument in 1977. The exhibition shows the work of King Rama V, one of the greatest Thai kings. More information on his works and way of life can be found in the library which contains books written by King Rama V, biographies and his works. Love the place and the wonderful architecture of this building!
8. Baan Kudichin Museum

I enjoyed my afternoon spent in this charming little museum housed in a 100-year-old house. The museum was very personal, showcasing not only a section on early Portugese settlers in Bangkok, but the late owners personal belongings, stories and photos. The late owner appeared to be a kindred spirit; he kept everything (ticket stubs, NHS health records, air tickets, old architecture textbooks,) from his time studying in the UK, and I enjoyed poking through all the exhibits. The museum is privately owned and does not charge entrance fees. I highly recommend you have a bite to eat in the little cafe on the ground floor and buy some of their beautiful postcards. Going there is part of the whole adventure. Take BTS to Saphan Thaksin, then express boat line in direction Nonthaburi until station 7 and finally cross the river by ferry. The museum is located in a rabbit warren of narrow paths but there's clear signage. Other attractions in the area are 100-year-old bakeries that serve only one type of Portugese pastry, Santa Cruz church, a mosque and Hokkien Chinese temple, and a couple of Buddhist temples that were not your usual Thai temples. Kudichin is absolutely off the usual tourist path, an oasis of calm.
