If you stroll along Phra Sumen Road, you will be struck by a modern white concrete building that blends seamlessly with the old wooden buildings. This place is "Bang Lamphu Museum," a learning center built on the original site of the Kurusapa Printing House (Wat Sangwet Printing School), which was once one of the most modern printing houses in the past. Today, this place has been revitalized into a living museum to tell the story of the Bang Lamphu area from the past to the present.
The interesting thing about Bang Lamphu Museum is the presentation of "Universal Design" that is friendly to people of all ages. Inside, it is divided into a concrete building that houses a permanent exhibition about the history of Rattanakosin, and a wooden building that focuses on the traditional way of life of the Bang Lamphu people. You will find an exhibition room that simulates the atmosphere of the commercial district in the past, the making of Likay costumes, the beating of gold leaf, and the story of the "Lamphu Tree," the last tree that was once a symbol of this area, through fun and not boring multimedia.
In addition to getting a lot of knowledge, the surrounding atmosphere of Bang Lamphu Museum is also peaceful and shady. There are beautiful garden corners to sit and relax, making it a great stop after walking around the hot city. The building has been meticulously restored and has received an outstanding architectural conservation award, making every corner of this place look classic and valuable, suitable for spending quality time on holidays in the style of Sookjai Holiday.
Bang Lamphu Museum is more than just a place to store old things, but a bridge that connects the new generation with the roots of the people of Bangkok in an impressive way. This holiday, if you want to change the atmosphere and walk around a museum that is more "wow" than ever, try visiting here. Free admission (or according to the conditions of the Treasury Department), I guarantee that you will receive a smile and pride in Thai history back home for sure.
