the prison museum in a park

The map to the Bangkok Corrections Museum shows the way to the prison museum in Maha Chai Road. Maha Chai Road is at the western edge of Yaowarat, Chinatown. Fort Mahakarn is at the northern end of the road and Pahurat, Little India at the southern end.

The museum is located at the Ruan Cham (prison) junction where Luang Road meets Maha Chai Road. It's known to the taxi drivers as "kook kao" or old prison.

Blocks 1 –3 are located near the main road. Part of the old prison wall and one of the watchtowers can be seen from the road.

The curator's office is in Block 1. Start your tour there. You have to remove your footwear in Blocks 1 – 3. Rommani Nart Park is just behind the museum. The main entrance to the park is through a gate in the old prison wall. Block 9 the old cellblock is within the park.

It's a relatively small park of about 4 hectares or 10 acres, bounded by Maha Chai Road and Siri Phong Road, the old prison compound.
