The barges are under a roof. You stop to see the hulls, not to finish every west-bank museum. This, Wang Lang and Wat Rakhang are the half-day you cross from Tha Chang. Wat Arun is the other crossing, from Tha Tien — do not join the two into one day. Ask at the door which day it is open. The Fine Arts service page places this museum inside the National Museum's foreign ticket, but the open day is still whatever the door says.
Best time
The open day, and whether the 240-baht combined ticket applies, follow the barge museum door that day. The service page and the volunteers' page do not agree on National Museum hours.
How to go
Cross from Tha Chang. Do not start at Tha Tien, walk here, and bounce back to Wat Arun.
Tips
- · If the National Museum is closed Monday and Tuesday, do not assume the barge shed is open on that same ticket.
