I entered the museum because the entrance was included in the Grand Palace ticket. The museum is located exactly at the exit from the Grand Palace. The tour takes about 30 minutes. If you are in a hurry, I do not recommend stopping in this museum.

Fascinating history of textiles in SE Asia and a collection of Royal Thai dresses from the 50s to present. The lower floor contains a nice gift shop and interactive displays and textile pattern stamps from the various regions in Thailand. The upper floor (where you cannot photograph) contains a full display of glamorous dresses worn by Queen Sirikit starting in the 1950s. There are also historical textiles from various parts of SE Asia. Not a big museum but a very nice one that is a refreshing change.

Besides the beautiful display of her majesty clothes, I enjoyed the video interviews ( in English) of her and the King. Easy to see why they were so beloved by the people

Located on the Grand Palace grounds near the entrance, this museum and store is small but it offers some very lovely and high quality items. We did not look at the exhibits - but we did buy some of the inexpensive, colourful pom-pom key chains to hang off our knapsacks, and some really nice designer-type T-shirts as well.
By purchasing museum and SUPPORT Foundation products, you contribute to the QSMT and the sustainable livelihood of SUPPORT members around the country, as well as in the preservation of Thailand’s cultural heritage. So a worthy cause as well.
Definitely worth a look.

If you've already paid to see the Grand Palace, take another 15-30 minutes and go through the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles. It's not so much a textile museum, but more of a tribute to the life and work of Queen Sirikit. Not havng knowing very much about the Thai royalty, I found the museum very interesting - perhaps the most intersting part of the entire complex.
There are photos and filmed interviews as well as quite a few of her wardrobe on display.
There is also a very nice gift shop at the exit.

After the living nightmare that was the Grand Palace, I can’t tell you how happy I was to find myself in this museum. Air conditioning, and no photos allowed...so I guess the selfie and Instagram addicts don’t bother with it. The batik exhibit was interesting and the Balmain garments made for the Queen were absolute wonders!

In this museum you can see, among other things, HM Queen Sirikit’s personal collection of dresses designed and tailored from Thai textiles by international and local designers. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Bangkok. We, foreigners living in Bangkok, visited this museum twice and were very impressed every time!

This museum is small, but included in your admission to the Grand Palace (and inside the Grand Palace). You can view the 8 types of traditional Thai dress as well as see the Queens dresses over the years. You can also learn how she helped the Thai economy with supporting the textile industry!
Don't miss the chance to try on the traditional Thai dress. Great photo op! When you enter the museum and looking at the stairs, go to the left entrance at the bottom of the stairs. By the window there are traditional dress options and girls who will help you get dresses. It is free but the girls work for tips.
It is also air conditioned if you need to cool down.

When touring the cultural highlights of Bangkok by the river; The Grand Palace, Wat Po and Wat Arun.... take a look at the new Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles located at the entrance to the Grand Palace behind the Gift Shop. The admission price should be included in the Grand Palace ticket price. The museum is small and intimate with an introductory video and other brief informational videos along the way. The museum is also an homage to the Queen and her revival of the traditional silk industry in NE Thailand as well as her charity work. The many varieties of traditional Thai clothing are displayed along with designs that were modified for International touring. A lovely new museum in a fully renovated, elegant, new space.

I want to visit The Grand Palace + Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles+ Vimanmek Palace + Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall.
The ticket of all places is 400 baht, isn't it?
Written 26 October 2016
There is a combined ticket for the Grand Palace and the textile museum. The rest should be separate charges.
Written 21 March 2018
Can I visit this without visiting the Grand Palace? And can I just visit the gift shop (without paying admission?)
Written 22 February 2016
Yes, you can visit this without going to the Grand Palace as this complex has separate ticket counter also.
you dont have to buy ticket to visit gift shop.
