Museum of Nonthaburi

The colour of the white word and the missing letter on the board did not give me much hope. The Museum of Nonthaburi was somewhere we visited when we were travelling the river.

The Museum of Nonthaburi displays the history of Nonthaburi province, her people and the way of life, culture, arts and craft in a historical building to preserve the heritage of a very old province established in 1548.

The museum, which opened on 15 September 2009, is near the Nonthaburi pier, the terminal pier of the Chao Phraya river boats that’s just north of Bangkok. 

It’s located in part of an old building with a long history. The building is now a national heritage in the process of conservation. 

The interior of the section housing the museum has been renovated. It’s extremely well organized with elaborate displays that are well laid out and illustrated by signs in English and Thai.

I could find no information whist I was there that was in English - but here are some images.

I thought it was a lovely idea that they told us what was currently happening at the museum - a shame about the spelling mistake (I am always a teacher).

We were on the side of the Chao Phraya river which mean that there was a lot of trade over and onto the water.

They used technology (QR Codes)for more information - a shame for me that it was only in Thai.

Thought about having a Singha later.

Into the museum and we learnt about all the clay pottery that was made (and still is) in Nonthaburi.

A lovely place to visit.
