The National Museum of Royal Barges is a museum in Bangkok, Thailand. It is on the northern rim of Bangkok Noi canal in the Bangkok Noi District. The museum was formerly a dry dock for barges and warships under the care of the Royal Household and the Royal Thai Navy.

The museum of royal barges is a fascinating place to visit. View and learn all about the royal barges, used by the royal family and their many oarsmen. Learn the history behind them. Some of the barges even have damage caused by bombing in World War Two. Painted in gold leaf, and decorated with wood carvings, with amazing attention to detail, the barges are a spectacular sight. A little difficult to find, but if you make the effort, you’ll be glad you did.

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.

100bt to look at 8 boats, another 100bt to photograph them - totally not worth the money. Also hard to find and the guards are rude
