"Sitting on the first paved road in Bangkok, this monumental, low and wide building mixes the long clean lines of late art deco architecture with touches of traditional Thai adornment."
Very cool building that is more than just a post office! Highly recommend some exploration, great place to stroll and around and discover new things.
Upon arrival, you will find that the main lobby area is indeed a post office. Do venture past this, and poke around. There are some galleries, work spaces, and outdoor terraces to relax in as well.

this grand postal building in neo classical architectural design was inaugurated as early as year 1940! and valued as a thailand cultural heritage. it is an elegant grandiose building with spacious interior, with exhibits and videos which showcase the history of thailand post office, its diffferent stages of development, and stamps issued with different themes and stamps marking special events and exhibits of posters/stamps of various design competition winners, it'd be more interesting if there are more english translation of the various exhibits (now mostly in Thai language)

Friendly staff, stamp collectors cannot miss this post office. During the weekend, there are few stalls here for vintage stamps.

Taking sky train to Saphan Taksin station then walk on Charoen krung road for a kilometer then this Central Post Office is located on your left-hand side.
Visitors can get inside for a quick view or even to use bathrooms which open for public. Also TCDC is in the same building that often has exhibitions organized here.
Visitors may leave the main building and walk toward the back of main building where you can reach the open area next to the river. It is not new but it is Nice and hidden from new tourists.

A great old style buildings, No matter how many years have passed. Surroundings, buildings had lots changes, although the interior has changed over time, more modern, but the exterior architecture is still beautiful and unchanged. More than 20 years, this building used to be a full post office. Nowadays, there became museum, and events take place. During Covid, this part has closed for visit inside.

For those who missed the Vijitr Mu-Light event in Bangkok at the Grand Postal Office, this one's for you:) I went in the last day and arrived just in time for the 7.15pm show. The building was lit up by projectors accompanied by lights, sounds and a storyline that lasted ten minutes. The light show was themed around tarot cards and the horoscope. Absolutely enjoyed my visit!

The Art Deco style to the building is classic. The inside is spectacular with impressive counters marble carvings and even a chandelier!
We also visited the Walk through a song line exhibition we we enjoyed it a lot.
