Bank of Thailand Museum.

The change of money.

Bank of Thailand Museum in Bangkok!!
............In 1945, Bangkhunprom Palace (the former residence of Prince Paripatra and his family) was converted into offices for the Bank of Thailand. The beautiful buildings in the compound are in renaissance style with baroque ornamentation. Even more fascinating are exhibits on the evolution of Thai currency: from Thailand's earliest examples of coinage, to the latest banknotes in circulation and everything in between. Chock full of history and information, if you have any cents, you will make the visit!!!

ฺBkk bank note : King Rama 5 once used the palace to teach his princesses and other female officers from around the city. He also hired foreign teachers and, for  a time, the place was affectionately nicknamed 'Bangkhunprom University'.
