Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum

The grounds of Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital, the new annex of Thailand’s oldest public hospital, used to house Thonburi’s main train station—and the Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum, also housed within the Siriraj Hospital, is an effort to pay respects to this former transportation hub. Apart from chronicling the development of the Thai railway system, Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum offers glimpses of how the Bangkok Noi and Wang Lang communities evolved. The museum also uses cutting-edge media and technology to give a history of Thai medicine.
