👍👍 It is actually a museum of banking and library complex with spectacular river view. Very well designed and quiet. Good for researchers and university students who need a quiet space. There is alao a cafe in the building. People often mention museum, view, river, bridge, space, building,

    You can see the history of money in Thailand and enjoy the river views around the hangover bridge. Various notes and printing machines and alternative exchange materials. After touring, you can drink chill and nice drink in the coffee shop.

    Free entry, we went for opening time and it was really quiet. As we were the only foreigners visiting the museum, the staff showed us round, because of this however we felt a bit rushed and didn't have time to read all the information. Really interesting and interactive exhibits though and the building itself is great with modern facilities and air conditioning.

    Exceptional learning centre right in the heart of Bangkok. The building is so beautiful, and gives you the most majestic view of the RAMA VIII bridge. The library is packed with financial books; excellent for anyone who want to research in the field.

    Didn't make it past security. As of June 2023 you are still required to wear a mask. Yes, seriously. This is essentially a history museum, so it makes sense why they can't let go of the past.

    Well-decorated free-entry library with great facilities. Can be here to get there. Good place for reading books or get some work done. Plenty of space tp settle, just look for the corner you prefer. I recommend this place personally if you’d love to spend a long time reading while resting your eyes with great Chaopraya riverside view with beautiful Rama8 bridge.

    Nice building with a modern museum and Library. Coming at sunset is recommended, as the terrace affords lovely views of the river. I came during the Bangkok Art Biennial and there were some special exhibitions as well as the standard displays.
