    Pretty cool. go in the front doors and then go left, and go up the elevator to the 5th floor. Nice balcony with view of the city.

    They hold interesting workshop sometimes. You can access to their rooftop for free. There is a cafe (indoor) on the same floor of the rooftop as well.

    Lovely architecture of postal building. There’s a TCDC centre as well - you’ll need to pay a nominal amount to get access to TCDC.

    A great old style buildings, No matter how many years have passed. Surroundings, buildings had lots changes, although the interior has changed over time, more modern, but the exterior architecture is still beautiful and unchanged. More than 20 years, this building used to be a full post office. Nowadays, there became museum, and events take place. During Covid, this part has closed for visit inside.

    We stopped at this building with zero expectations. The house keepers told us to visit the exhibition on a left side of the building. We can go up to the rooftop and enjoy the city view. I would recommend here for photography and artistic space on the 5th floor here.

    Stately.. imposing and a photo-shoot set for young graduates. Art Deco meets Thailand beautifully. Out of the way.. Walking distance from Saphan Taksin BTS Station ( a serious walk actually) The scale and symmetry suggest wide angles and drones to capture the building in its full glory.

    The General Post Office also known as the Grand Postal Building, is a historic building in the Bang Rak District of Bangkok. Opened on 24 June 1940 on the former site of the British Legation, it was designed by architects Sarot Sukkhayang and Mew Aphaiwong in a mixture of Art Deco and International Style architecture which reflected the desire of the ruling People's Party to project a modern and powerful image of the state.

    For those who missed the Vijitr Mu-Light event in Bangkok at the Grand Postal Office, this one's for you:) I went in the last day and arrived just in time for the 7.15pm show. The building was lit up by projectors accompanied by lights, sounds and a storyline that lasted ten minutes. The light show was themed around tarot cards and the horoscope. Absolutely enjoyed my visit!

    Interesting imperial style building, still housing main post Office. Unfortunately, their Hall of Fame (museum, I assume), was closed due to Covid precautions.

    I needed to send a small package to the USA. An employee spoke English and helped to do everything. But there's not only a post office in the building, but some design department too. So when I came there was an event, so it was noisy inside.

    The central post office is located at Bangrak. You can find a huge grey tower with 2 Praya Garuda ornaments above it’s grand entrance. Inside is big hall that separate one part to be service counter. The packing station was at the right hand-side immediately to the main gate. I ‘m so appreciate with professional packing sikk of the staffs which my parcel never got complaint from receivers. Though there are customers but not waiting so long because good systematic management.👍

    I was there hoping to find a philatelic section and I was not disappointed. At a corner on the right side after you enter is a section for all merchandise and philatelic corner. I left extremely happy after purchasing some beautiful Thai stamps and receiving excellent service from Mr. Langsan.

    I went here during the weekend to buy banknotes from other collectors. I didn't have a chance to go inside. Also, this place seems to be a good place to take graduation photo because there were about a dozen people taking photo with their graduation gown.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place Both the building outside and inside But if you are going to send the post office, you have to accept it. 99% of employees seem like they don't want to work. I don't want to answer anything. During COVID, the more you wear masks, the more you don't want to answer, don't want to service. Even a thank you hasn't been heard from the staff here. If compared with a small post office near Phaya Krai, it's a million times better But here it opens until 8:00 p.m. and opens every day, so I have to use the service. The staff are so bad that they can't borrow a little scotch tape pack. But the staff standing at the door are lovely and very willing to help. (Original) สถานที่สวยค่ะ ทั้งอาคารข้างนอกและข้างใน แต่ถ้าจะส่งไปรษณีย์ต้องทำใจหน่อยนะคะ พนักงาน 99% เหมือนไม่อยากทำงาน ถามอะไรก็ไม่ค่อยอยากตอบ ช่วงโควิดยิ่งใส่หน้ากากยิ่งไม่อยากตอบไม่อยากบริการ แม้แต่คำขอบคุณยังไม่เคยได้ยินจากพนักงานที่นี่ ถ้าเทียบกับไปรษณีย์เล็กๆแถวพยาไกรดีกว่าล้านเท่าค่ะ แต่ที่นี่เปิดถึงสองทุ่มและเปิดทุกวันจึงจำใจต้องใช้บริการค่ะ พนักงานแย่ขนาดขอยืมสก๊อตเทปแพคของนิดเดียวยังไม่ได้เลยค่ะ แต่พนักงานที่ยืนหน้าประตูน่ารักเเละเต็มใจช่วยเหลือมากๆค่ะ
