Thai Boat Museum (พิพิธภัณฑ์เรือไทย)

Thai Boat Museum (พิพิธภัณฑ์เรือไทย): A private boat museum located opposite to Wat Mahathat, Bang Ian Road, within the same area as the residence of Master Phaithun Khaomala, who has had an affectionate bond with boats and water since his childhood and wishes to preserve this field of folk wisdom for younger generations. The museum building is a large Thai-style teak house with accordion folding partitions, exhibiting models and miniatures of various boats as well as royal barges built with the same techniques as the original ones. Hundreds of them ranging from large ocean liners to small rowing boats are on display, as well as various types of traditional Thai boats that are now rare to be seen on the waterway. Open daily during 8.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. For more information, Tel. 0 3524 1195.
