This is a small but fun museum for the history, the barges, and seeing the craftsmen and women restore and maintain these crafts. We can by boat to the Museum dock and that was a bit of an adventure getting there. Half of the barges were being repaired or restored. It was a delight to see the work being done and we spoke briefly with the workers. A short film explaining the barge tradition and history was interesting. We returned via another adventure and walked through the back streets about a half mile to the river to catch a water taxi. It was fun and interesting explorations.

Not easy to get to.... last 200 metres must walk through neighborhood small sidewalks to get to....good signage. but....very well worth the effort. 100 entry fee....100 to take pictures. Can get great pics of the barges !!!
Majectic royal barges are displayed here. Accessible by boat.
Beautiful barges and interesting history of the royal barges can be found here. I only give this three stars due to the museum closing unexpectedly fifteen minutes after we arrived (contrary to the open hours posted at the entry gate). Despite this, we definitely got our 200 baht worth (the cost of two entry tickets) in the short amount of time that we were there. Unless you are arriving by boat, be prepared to navigate a labyrinth of alleyways filled with friendly people to get there. Trust the sign posts and/or Google Maps to get there and you will be fine.
It's a must see place that's not as advertised for Bangkok. They store all the royal barges here from the first to the newest. To see it on television as its being used is one thing, but to get close and personal is a whole different feeling. You see the intricacies and details that went into creating these works of art.
