Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles

李昭賢 in the last week

December 11, 2025 First Visit The Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles, located in the Ratsadakorn-bhibhathana building of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, is an exquisite cultural attraction that combines royal fashion with traditional craftsmanship. It comprehensively showcases how Queen Sirikit brought traditional Thai silks (such as Mudmee silk) to the international stage, and is hailed by many visitors as the most refreshing and elegant "hidden oasis" within the Grand Palace. 🌟 Two Core Highlights of the Museum 1. Royal Haute Couture: The museum's core exhibit features Queen Sirikit's personal and glamorous attire. The most famous highlight is her decades-long collaboration with legendary French designer Pierre Balmain, demonstrating how Western haute couture tailoring perfectly blends with traditional Thai fabrics. 2. The Revival and History of Thai Silk: This section details the evolution of eight traditional Thai garments (Chut Thai) and showcases the achievements of Thailand's first professional textile restoration laboratory. 💡 Practical Guide and Local Tips • A Perfect Way to Escape the Heat: The Grand Palace outdoor plaza is extremely hot. It's recommended to include this museum in your itinerary midway through your trip. The museum is well-air-conditioned and offers a quiet and elegant environment, making it an excellent escape from the sun and crowds. • Ticketing: • If you have already purchased a Grand Palace combo ticket (500 THB), this museum visit is included and requires no additional payment. • If you only wish to visit the museum separately, you can skip the Grand Palace entrance ticket and access it via the outer pedestrian underpass. A separate ticket is available (150 THB for foreign adults / 50 THB for students). • Dress Code and Photography Regulations: • Strict dress code is enforced at the Grand Palace: sleeveless tops, shorts, short skirts, ripped jeans, and backless sandals are prohibited. • Photography and videography are strictly prohibited inside the exhibition halls. 🎨 Featured Exhibitions (on display until 2027) • *Royal Court Textiles of Siam*: Located in Halls 3 and 4, this exhibition delves into the luxurious aesthetics of traditional royal textiles. • *Future SUPPORT*: Located in Hall 5, this exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the SUPPORT Foundation, showcasing how contemporary technology breathes new life into traditional handicrafts. (The above content is from AI) Previously, when visiting the Grand Palace, I would usually skip the museum and head straight to the next activity because it was too hot and I was pressed for time. However, on this particular day, I had more time, and since the Grand Palace was closed during the Queen Mother's mourning period, and tickets were free, I decided to go inside. I really admired the Queen Mother's noble and elegant demeanor, and her clothing and accessories were also very elegant. It's definitely worth taking the time to visit.
