The Suan Pakkad Palace Museum served as the house of Princess Chumphot - Thailand's leading art collector. With a huge collection of antiques on display it is a treat for antique lovers.
The palace museum site also houses eight traditional wooden Thai houses brought from various parts of the country. The museum has a well-maintained tropical garden along with idyllic ponds. The private residence of Princess Chumphot was converted into a museum in 1952.
The museum got a facelift in 1996, and this new structure is what visitors see today.
The pre-historic Ban Chieng artefacts are prized possessions of the museum. These artefacts date back to the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron ages.
There are artefacts, such as painted pottery items, bronze weapons and tools. These items bear testimony to a primeval Southeast Asian civilization that could match the Egyptian and Stone-age civilizations in technological and social advancements.
The Suan Pakkad Palace brings before one visions of Thailand that existed prior to the formation of Bangkok. The marvellous palace with its rare collectibles will be of great interest to the history lover.
