But the highlight is “Siam's first Thai-language typewriter.” In the past, we didn't have a typewriter. The authorities had to hire foreigners to print documents for them. Because foreigners don't understand Thai letters. Sometimes the print is lost. The spelling was incorrect, so King Rama V ordered Have a factory from America produce 17 Thai typewriters, but because there are as many as 44 Thai consonants, they cannot fit all of them. It is necessary to cut out 2 numbers, namely ฃ. ฃwatt and ฅ.ฅน.

3. Print media telling Thai stories Exhibits ancient publications from the reigns of King Rama 3-9 that reflect the history of each era. Here, we also include collectibles such as packaging for toothpaste, shampoo, detergent, and knowledge that some people may have wondered why we have to call these things "medicine". That's because These chemical products from overseas were previously sold in pharmacies. That will require the seller to explain the use first. As in the past, when detergent (detergent) was brought to be sold in Thailand. It is advertised as being more whiter than laundry soap. But people didn't dare to dip their hands in it and wash it for fear of biting their hands. So we had to import Thailand's first washing machine made in America so that the detergent could be sold.

4. Solving doubts about old occupations of ancient people It tells the story of Chinese people who fled the war and came to make a living in Thailand. The main occupation of Chinese people besides being laborers is trading by hawking coffee, selling food or groceries to serve customers. In various places in this zone, there are "carrying booths" that Chinese people use to carry things to sell. Just the carrier alone is very heavy. If you put everything in there, it will weigh hundreds of kilograms. Plus, I have to walk 10-20 kilometers to carry things to sell in the alleys. Even though it's heavy and tiring, I have to persevere and fight for my life.

5. The night of the old market, a hundred years ago. In addition, the museum also has a restaurant called Charoen-A-Han shop also provides service. It's outside the museum building at the back. This is a replica of shops from the past, including a gold shop, a toy shop, a grocery store, a movie theater, and the life of Thai farmers in the past. This zone is very suitable for people who like to take photos. Because you can go in and pretend to be the owner of the shop.
