This should be a great museum in old royal palace buildings. However, exhibits and information is poor and the whole place seems run down. Ticket price is higher than other museums in Ayutthaya. If you want to see a Royal palace take a short train...More

Worth 30 mins

Nipped in as I was passing and it's worth a visit if you have time to burn. A very tranquil place with grass outside and ac on the inside. Nb - grass for sitting on, not for smoking

After half a day of viewing the ruined city, it was a good contrast to visit the 19th Century palace of the King Monghut, the King, who employed Anna as tutor to his children. The whole site can be viewed from his observation tower. The...More
