Sam Sen Nai Philatelic Museum — Attraction in Phaya Thai Subdistrict

Sam Sen Nai Philatelic Museum, the must-go museum for postage stamp lovers, located near BTS Saphan Kwai Exit 1. You will see Post cafe where pies, cakes, coffee and tea are nice then walk into an entrance next to it. Free admission. The museum is on the 2nd floor of the building right in front of the entrance gate. The exhibition tells the history of stamps in Thailand, stamps from various countries categories by continents and few games to have fun with. English description is available. The librarian there is a very nice and friendly lady. You can ask for a card to collect 7 rubber stamps. The card with complete 7 rubber stamps can be exchanged with a coin token to use with a Gachapon machine...
