★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love military museums, but this is more of a museum of models and miniatures of ships. The military staff are courteous or it would get 1 star.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not too much content but they have real weapons, plane, tank, and history to display. The navy officers were very polite and willing to share what they knew.

The museum chronicles the history of the Royal Thai Navy and the important Naval battles, exhibits miniature ships such as the Royal Barges which were used in the Royal Barge Processions of King Rama V period, the warship HMS Phra Ruang, Rau Barge, HMS Matchanu - the first submarine of the Royal Thai Navy. It is open everyday except public holidays from 9.00 a.m.-15.30 p.m. For more information, Telephone: 0 2394 1997 0 2394 1997 0 2475 38080 0 2475 38080 .
I visited this museum on Friday the 4th June 2010, having spent most of the day in Samut Prakan town. I was surprised that the naval officer kept my friends I.D. Card when we visited this museum. They asked nothing from me ! It was a very hot day and it was a pleasure to remove my shoes going into the cool , tiled museum.
The Royal Thai Naval Academy was established by His Majesty the King Chulalongkorn ( Rama V ) in 1898. He officially opened the Academy on 20 November 1906. Originally located on the royal yacht Maha Chakri and some other boats donated by HM the King, the Academy later moved to Wangderm Palace in Thonburi in the compound of the present headquarters of the Royal Thai Navy, then to Sattahip, and finally ended at its current location in Samut Prakan in 1952. Seeing this took me back to the time I entered the Royal Navy at HMS Ganges in Suffolk in 1962, at a place called Shotley Gate. It was much the same guards , impressive layout, rural surroundings and next to the sea or river.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went along December 2016
I had seen this museum on Google maps so went along.
Free entry and when I went the place was empty of other visitors.
There is plenty to see and history of the Thai navy to read about.
The place could do with more exhibits I think and a re-fresh but still free entry so not all bad.
I did enjoy my visit all the same
