Museum of Royal Coronation Ceremonies’ Photography

This is a small provincial museum in Mueang Ang Thong built around photographs of the 2019 Royal Coronation Ceremony of King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X). The Ministry of Interior opened it on 21 July 2022 at the former Ang Thong provincial governor’s residence, describing it as the first in a planned series of similar photographic collections to be rolled out province by province. It’s a modest, single-building collection rather than a major museum — worth a stop if you’re already in Ang Thong, not a destination in its own right.

The photographs document the ceremony itself: the preparation and procession, the regalia, and the formal moments of the coronation as it was staged in Bangkok in 2019, reproduced here as a provincial exhibit rather than an on-site historical event. Because it’s a small, recently opened government collection with little independent visitor coverage online, treat published hours as provisional — TAT lists Monday to Friday, 09:00-16:00, closed weekends and public holidays, with free admission, but call the listed number before making a special trip out.

Insider Tip: Call 035 611 235 ahead of a visit. Small provincial government museums like this one sometimes close for events or staff availability without updating their online listings.

Watch out: As with any site connected to the monarchy, dress and behave respectfully — covered shoulders and knees, no loud conversation, and no posing disrespectfully with the exhibits.

Reach it by car or songthaew from Ang Thong town; there’s no dedicated public transport route. Pair the visit with the Museum of Ang Thong Legend nearby to make the trip worthwhile, since both are quick visits rather than half-day stops.
