If you visit the Hua Ro area, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, an important place that should not be missed is "Chantharakasem National Museum" or what the locals call Wang Na. This place was not only the residence of King Naresuan the Great, but is now also a source of invaluable antiques.
Phraya Boran Ratchathanin, the former Commissioner of Ayutthaya Province, is considered an important person who is the "Father of the Conservation of Ayutthaya Ancient Sites." Inside the museum, there are many antiques on display, whether they are sandstone Buddha images, ancient utensils, and a model map of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. Walking around these objects amidst the atmosphere of the old palace allows you to experience the atmosphere of Ayutthaya society in the past.
In addition to the valuable exhibitions, the Chan Kasem Palace area also has beautiful architecture to take photos of from many angles, such as Phra Thinang Phiman Rattaya or the astronomical observatory such as Ho Phisai Sanlak. After visiting the museum, you can also walk to find delicious food at Hua Ro Market, which is nearby. For this holiday, if anyone wants to fill their knowledge and soak up the classic atmosphere of the old capital, a visit to Chantharakasem National Museum will surely bring you happiness and pride in Thai history.
