The National Museum of Royal Barges is a museum situated in the Thai Capital of Bangkok, specifically at the northern rim of Bangkok Noi canal within the Bangkok Noi district. The museum was once a dry dock for barges and warships under the charge of the Royal household and the Royal Thai Navy. However, they sustained much destruction during WWII and were only restored by the Fine Arts Department in 1949 to resurrect the place, one of cultural heritage significance.

The museum was officially opened in 1972. 8 out of 42 royal barges are put on display within the museum. They include the Royal Barge Suphannahong which is a gold, royal swan-shaped prow stretching over 46 metres in length and requiring 50 oarsmen to steer. There are several different figureheads crowning the Royal Barges, from a monkey warrior, an ogre-faced bird the one of the Vishnu God! There is plenty to see in the museum, with each barge so intricately designed with lots to admire.
