Lonely Planet review for King Prajadhipok Museum

A visit to a royal museum might sound like a royal bore, but this collection uses modern techniques to relate the rather dramatic life of Rama VII (King Prajadhipok; r 1925–35), while neatly documenting Thailand’s transition from absolute to constitutional monarchy. The museum occupies a grand neocolonial-style building constructed on the orders of Rama V for his favourite firm of Bond St merchants; it was the only foreign business allowed on the royal road linking Bangkok’s two palace districts.
