Pridi Banomyong Memorial

The memorial is located in the northern part of the old city, just across the river from Wat Phanomyong. It is generally open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, between 09:00 and 16:00. It is typically closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. As of 2026, the entrance fee for foreign visitors is 100 Baht. The complex includes the historical Thai house museum, which displays personal artifacts, photographs, and political memorabilia. Most visitors spend about forty-five minutes to an hour exploring the house and the garden. There is limited parking inside the gates, so those arriving by car may need to park on the street nearby. The site is well-maintained and provides a peaceful respite from the busier tourist circuits.

Because this is a memorial and a museum, a respectful demeanor is expected. While not a religious site, it is customary to dress modestly, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered when entering the historical wooden buildings. You will be required to remove your shoes before stepping into the traditional Thai house. Photography is allowed in the gardens and at the outdoor monument, but please check for signs regarding indoor photography in the museum sections. Since this is a lesser-known attraction, it is rarely crowded, making it a perfect spot for those who enjoy slow travel. If you plan to visit late in the afternoon, it is a good idea to inform the staff upon arrival to ensure you have enough time before the gates close.

The memorial is situated on U Thong Road in the Tha Wasukri sub-district. If you are staying on the city island, it is easily reached by bicycle or motorbike; the ride is flat and follows the scenic river road. For those using local transport, a colorful three-wheeled tuk-tuk is the most convenient way to get there, and the fare from the central market or historical park should be around 60 to 100 Baht. If you are coming from the train station, you can take a small cross-river ferry for a few Baht and then hire a motorcycle taxi or walk west along the river. It is located almost directly opposite the Phanomyong Temple, which serves as a helpful landmark for drivers.
