Customs House, Bangkok, Historic customs building in Bang Rak, Thailand
The Renaissance Revival structure rises near the Chao Phraya River with classical columns, high ceilings, and symmetrical facades featuring intricate architectural details.
Constructed in 1889 during King Rama V's reign, this administrative center regulated maritime commerce and collected taxes for goods entering through Bangkok's port.
The building represents the intersection of Thai and European architectural elements, reflecting the international trade relationships of late 19th century Thailand.
Visitors can reach the Customs House via the Saphan Taksin BTS station or river boats that stop at the nearby Central Pier.
The interior exhibits showcase original customs equipment, trade documents, and artifacts that detail the evolution of Thailand's maritime commerce systems.
