Pridi Banomyong Memorial
The Pridi Banomyong Memorial is a dedication to its namesake Pridi Banomyong, one of Thailand's most politicians who was born in Ayutthaya.
The memorial consists of two very traditional Thai houses on the banks of the Khlong Muang in the old city of Ayutthaya.
Pridi was one of the first forward-thinking politicians to come out of Thailand and was a well-respected figure even until his death. The Pridi Banomyong Memorial houses a six-pillar display symbolising the six-point program of the People’s Party lead by Pridi. The first building is a museum displaying letters, souvenirs and a few things belonging to Pridi. Most of the information here is in Thai. However, the second building where Pridi was born, is not open to the public.
