  Small museum but it's niche subject. The monk who runs it is extremely friendly and funny. Overall a fun experience. 50 baht and takes about a half-hour.

  It is a small museum in Wat Thepthidaram. The ticket for foreigner is only 50 Baht. I took about 20 minutes travelling here. Sunthorn Phu, the legendary poet of Thailand lived here when he was a monk. He's a royal poet lived during the reign of king Rama I to IV (1786-1855). Suthorn Phu was honored by UNESCO as a great world poet. One of his famous poem is 'Phra Aphai Mani'. It's a fantasy story. In this museum, you'll learn about his brief biography and some of his poems by the video animation with english subtitle. The monk attendant will provide you more information in english, and he also sing the poems of Sunthorn Phu melodiusly. There are treditional Thai dresses for rent in only 150 Baht. These dresses are very beutiful. You will enjoy wearing Thai dress and take photos with the background of this temple. There are a few points to take photo using AR technology. You'll be in the same frame with Sunthorn Phu. The fee is up to you for donating this temple.
