Museum The Old Thon Buri Palace
Phra Ratcha Wang Derm, or The Old Palace, was built in 1768 after Phraya Tak drove out the invading Burmese army and founded a new capital, from where he ruled as King Taksin. After his execution in 1782, it continued to be used by King Rama I of the new Chakri Dynasty until the Grand Palace was constructed across the Chao Phraya River. The architectural style of the palace ia an impressive mixture of Thai and Chinese arts, and these buildings now serve as amuseum holding traditional weapons of the period and information concerning Taksin's war achievements. Additionally there are exhibits of the Taksin period, paintings and antiques. The museum is open for groups only, so permission should be obtained in advance.Wang Derm Road(Near Wat Arun)
