Thai Newspaper Museum

299 Nakhon Ratchasima Road, Dusit, Dusit

Getting a newspaper into our hands every day is no simple task. For those interested in the history and processes behind how newspapers are made, the Thai Newspaper Museum is the place to visit. This museum was established to promote the profession of journalism and serves as a central hub for learning and research. It is also a repository of valuable historical documents related to the Thai newspaper industry, from the past to the present. The exhibition is organized using modern computer systems and is divided into three main zones. The first zone showcases the operations of newspapers in the past, featuring a wax model that recreates the atmosphere of a newspaper office, highlighting the work of journalists from yesteryears. Next, the museum illustrates the role of newspapers in political, economic, and social contexts, along with the history of key figures in the newspaper industry, such as Dr. Judson (M.R. Jatukarm), Prince Nara Thippongpan, and M.R. Kukrit Pramoj. Additionally, there are displays honoring significant individuals in the field of journalism, such as the first missionaries who spread religion, including Dr. Judson, who published Thailand's first semi-monthly newspaper, the Bangkok Recorder, during the reign of King Rama III. Finally, the Thai Newspaper Exhibition Hall narrates the history of various newspapers and magazines that gained popularity across the country, showcasing an array of printing equipment and intriguing artifacts. This place is not just a museum; it's a treasure trove of knowledge, complete with a library for those interested in researching various historical documents. Location: The museum is situated at the Thai Newspaper Association on Rajadamnern Road, Dusit, opposite Suan Dusit Rajabhat University. It is open for visits every Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For more information, please call 0 2669 7124-6 or visit http://www.thaipressasso.org/museum.php. In the meantime, don’t miss exploring the vibrant Sathorn district, a hub of religious and cultural significance, or taking a breath of fresh air in the “Forest in the City” in Bangkok—there's so much to discover, including the captivating wall art in the Charoenkrung area.
