“An exquisite exhibition of royal regalia, prestigious decorations, and rare Thai coins spanning centuries.”
The Pavilion of Royal Regalia, Decorations, and Thai Coins is a distinguished exhibition hall located within the Bangkok National Museum. It houses a priceless collection of ceremonial regalia used in Thai royal rituals, state decorations awarded for national merit, and historical Thai currency dating back to ancient kingdoms.
Visitors can marvel at the Great Crown of Victory, royal robes, ceremonial weapons, and other royal accessories symbolizing power and prestige. The pavilion also displays a stunning array of royal decorations, medals, and the full hierarchy of honors awarded to Thai citizens and foreign dignitaries.
In addition, the coin section offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of Thai currency, including early barter tokens, traditional bullet money (Pod Duang), and modern coins used across different reigns.
This museum wing reveals Thailand’s refined sense of ceremony, artistry, and governance through beautifully preserved objects of historical and cultural significance.
