The Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles is a textile museum in Bangkok, in the Ratsadakorn-bhibhathana Building — an Italianate structure built in 1870 by King Rama V, formerly the Ministry of Finance. The museum was established in 2003 at the request of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, following a comprehensive renovation that created a state-of-the-art facility with galleries, education studio, library, lecture hall, and Thailand’s first dedicated textile conservation laboratory.
Collections focus on Thai royal court textiles, historic silk, and ceremonial fabrics. The current long-term exhibition, Royal Court Textiles of Siam, runs through April 2027. Open daily 09:00–16:30, last admission 15:30.

in the last weekCHUD THAI refers to eight different national costumes designed by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit during the reign of King Rama IX. These will be registered with UNESCO at the end of 2026. The registration also includes details on the hand-weaving method of the silk fabric, intended to prevent attempts to steal the Thai national costume from neighboring countries.

in the last weekI was deeply impressed by the intricate details of Thai textiles. Since returning, I've been amazed by the production methods and the exquisite details of the royal Thai costumes. The ceremonial attire for official duties is stunning; the design and tailoring are classic and elegant, yet still look modern today. The museum itself was very clean, and the staff were very helpful. There's a souvenir shop, and even international tourists fly in from overseas to visit. As a Thai person, I highly recommend visiting if you have the chance. It's truly beautiful.

a week agoVery good. It's located within Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), but if you don't want to pay respects at Wat Phra Kaew, the staff will direct you to another route for a faster process. There are stamps featuring the fabric designs of all 77 provinces. For stamp collectors, this place has a huge collection.

2 weeks agoI saw all eight beautiful styles of Thai traditional dress and learned about their history. It's also beneficial to support the community groups that weave the fabrics.
