A Glimpse of Smiles Across the Miles

King Prajadhipok Museum, otherwise known as Rama VII Museum, is a museum located in Bangkok, Thailand.  The museum is a very essential tool in giving both visiting locals (especially the new/younger generations) and foreigners have a deeper understanding about the reign of Rama VII or King Prajadhipok who was the last monarch who enjoyed absolute power in Thailand.

The museum's structure was designed by Charles Beguelin who was a French-Swiss Architect with a new-classical style.  In 1995, the museum was declared as a National Heritage Site.  Its renovation project was completed in 1999 and was noted as King Prajadhipok Museum in 2001.

 

The museum displays the biography and lifework Rama VII with His Majesty's essential memorabilia before he came to the throne and even the king's life after his abdication. 

One way of going to this museum is through a boatride via Banglampuu Pier.  Road trip via bus or taxi is also another option in reaching the place.
