Description:
Here's a sweet little park off the beaten track. Just a few paces from the west side of the Chao Phraya River is this park and museum dedicated to Somdet Phra Sri Nagarindra
, Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother (mother of the current King Bhumibol or Rama IX). She grew up in a simple house near here and inside this museum's grounds is a recreation of that home and the daily-life objects that would have been inside. Two air-conditioned galleries house photos and artifacts from the beloved figure's life but most of the signage is in Thai only. Also on site is a small art gallery that rotates shows every couple of months. Entry to all is free.
