Tamagno's 1901 baroque palace under the Rama VIII Bridge, on guided tours; the money museum is on Samsen Road.
Tamagno's baroque Bang Khun Phrom Palace under the Rama VIII Bridge opens on pre-registered guided tours, resumed in July 2026. The money museum — Thai currency from cowries to the baht — moved in 2018 to the BOT Learning Center, in the vault of Thailand's first banknote printing works at 273 Samsen Road.
