The Thai Naval Museum
The Thai Naval Museum is in Samut Prakan, a central Thai province on the Gulf of Thailand, just south of Bangkok. The province has a rich history and culture, and has a lot to offer visitors. Thailand's position on the ancient trade routes of Asia makes it an interesting place to learn about the evolution of naval warfare and maritime security in the region.
The museum holds many interesting artefacts. On display there are decommissioned ships and aircraft, and for anyone interested in naval history the place is a treasure trove.
You will also find detailed models of ships. The museum is usually less crowded than other attractions in the area, so you can look at the displays in peace and quiet.
On display you can also see boats used by Thai royalty dating back almost 150 years, along with navigation tools from the same era, and torpedoes, guns and cannons used by the Royal Thai Navy in different eras.
