Bangkok Noi Museum, Bangkok
This museum is about the history of Bangkok Noi and of the village of 'Bangkok' that used to be located here.
This museum is about the history of Bangkok Noi and of the village of 'Bangkok' that used to be located here. Bangkok Noi was an important trading centre in the Ayutthaya Period, and briefly the capital of Siam in the Thonburi Period. The Rattanakosin Period has also been covered, when most of Bangkok Noi consisted of fruit orchards. Many people worked as craftsmen, including those making bronze bowls. These fruits and bowls are on display in the museum. Over time, Thonburi became more urbanised, but here you can still see what it used to be like.
