About
A quick cultural hit just off Khao San, the Treasury Department’s Coin Museum on Chakrabongse Road traces Thai money from shell currency and pod duang “bullet coins” to the first flat round baht. It’s modern, compact, and easy to do in under an hour—perfect between temple stops or when you need air‑con.
Guided tours run every 30 minutes in small groups, with clear labels in Thai and English (plus Braille). You’ll see thousands of Thai and foreign coins, commemoratives for royal occasions, and curious designs from around the world. Staff keep things moving room to room, so you get a tidy storyline instead of museum fatigue.
Practical bits: tickets are 50 THB (~$1.35). Tuesday–Friday 8:30am–4:30pm (last tour 3pm); Saturday–Sunday 10am–6pm (last tour 4pm). Closed Monday. It’s a 5‑minute walk from Khao San on Chakrabongse Road—easy to pair with Banglamphu eats or a wander down Phra Sumen. Hours and details verified May 2026.
