    It is a small museum in Wat Thepthidaram. The ticket for foreigner is only 50 Baht. I took about 20 minutes travelling here. Sunthorn Phu, the legendary poet of Thailand lived here when he was a monk. He's a royal poet lived during the reign of king Rama I to IV (1786-1855). Suthorn Phu was honored by UNESCO as a great world poet. One of his famous poem is 'Phra Aphai Mani'. It's a fantasy story. In this museum, you'll learn about his brief biography and some of his poems by the video animation with english subtitle. The monk attendant will provide you more information in english, and he also sing the poems of Sunthorn Phu melodiusly. There are treditional Thai dresses for rent in only 150 Baht. These dresses are very beutiful. You will enjoy wearing Thai dress and take photos with the background of this temple. There are a few points to take photo using AR technology. You'll be in the same frame with Sunthorn Phu. The fee is up to you for donating this temple.

There is a guide for children in the community. Being a student takes you to visit Explain and give good knowledge It should be included as a tourist route in Banthat Thong - Pratu Phi area. Take time to listen to the guide. and walk around to collect information for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour

    The museum is very excellent. It is staffed by students from the local school. They were very helpful, however they need to practice their English a little more.

    This museum is located in the area of Wat Thepthidaram Worrawihan. Sunthon Phu was a famous novelist of Rattanakosin period. He had a lot novel on paper but it was destroyed by termite many years ago. An officer or a monk will welcome you by being your guide to take you to get through those 3 rooms with the history and explaination. Sunthon Phu Museum was originally Sunthon Phu’s residence when he was a monk in the early of Rattanakosin age. Presently, Wat Thepthidaram Worrawihan collected Sunthorn Phu's eight necessities in this residence. The temple has preserved the residence and opened it as a museum, which is open to visitors every day. The Sunthon Phu Museum is divided into 3 rooms: Endless inspiration room, Intellect Jewel room and Under Buddhism room. All rooms are very nice since it still maintain the structure of old thai style building. But renovated the rooms to safe them from the termite. You may studies history and feel free to donate to help maintain and protect these important place forever.

    Sunthorn Phu Museum Located inside Wat Thepthidaram. There is an exhibition of biography, works, and items used during the Buddhist Lent at this temple. There is a little guide who takes you through the various rooms. It takes about 30 minutes to visit. These guides are primary 4 students at Wat Ratchanatdaram School. During the visit, the guide will take photos of our visit and send the photos via LINE as well for those who come to visit Wat Ratchanatdaram. Another corner that should not be missed is inside the temple.

    It’s the most touristic floating market you will meet in Thailand , super crowed en busy the venders will try to rip you off so make sure too bargain .. if you’re noise sensitive take some earplugs there is a lot of noise because of the motorboats ( don’t know what motor they have but they are huge ans noisy )if you’re walking around I recommend you cross the street to the older side of the market ! Great food and fish don’t forget to order soms fruits and coconut ice cream ! 😍😍

    There are signs saying “open” everywhere on the road. Three meters in front of the entrance there is another “open” sign. There is a “closed” sign on the door. And only in Thai can you find out that it is closed for renovation until March 24, 2024.

    The staff members are very knowledgeable. Full with a lot of work. I really want this place to be great. The place may be small. And each room may have something a little less interesting. I want you to try decorating with colored lights. And the placement of each object looks a little more prominent. And arrange some arches to look like special landmarks. Make photography for this museum a little more interesting✨
