Description: |
|
The establishment of the National Maritime Museum took place
after the Fine Arts Department has set up the archeological
operation base and the conserve center for underwater antiques
at Tha Chalaep. Considering that there are more than ten
thousand archeological ruins sunk under the sea, the Fine Arts
Department had the National maritime Museum built in 1994 near
Khai Noen Wong, Bang Kaja subdistrict. The museum is a twin
buildings displaying an exhibition about Thailand’s naval
commerce and a collection of historical records on underwater
archeological studies. The exhibition consists of one main
display hall and other smaller display sections. The main
display hall on the 2nd floor features a life-sized model of
argosy in which visitors are allowed to enter. The display is
mainly about navigation and international maritime trading.
Followings are examples of smaller display sections: the
underwater archeological operation section which demonstrates
the studies of artifacts under the sea; the vessels and mariners
section which presents numerous kinds of rare ships; the
antiques storage room where the ruins are displayed outside
museum case; the section about important figures which features
King Taksin’s heroic deeds; and lastly, the Chanthaburi’s
highlights section which introduces gemstone mining, orchards,
natural attractions, as well as the history of Chong people (the
indigenous people of Chanthaburi). The National Maritime
Museum is open on Wednesdays to Sundays from 9.00 am – 16.00 pm
(except public holidays). The admission fee is 10 baht for
adults and 30 baht for foreigners. To arrange a group visit,
please contact 0 3939 1431 or fax 0 3939 1432. The museum can be
reached from Mueang district by driving along Highway 3146 Ban
Chalaep. After passing Eastern Hotel for 6 kilometers, you will
find an intersection to Tha Mai district. Head that way for only
about 400 meters and you will arrive at the museum. |
