botany.sci@chula.ac.thAbout this place
Living Plant Museum is a botanical learning site run by the Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University. The exact mapped point identifies the greenhouse and its surrounding plant displays on the university campus in Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330. The department gives 254 Phaya Thai Road as its postal address.
The department describes six exhibition themes: tropical rainforest plants, succulents and drought-tolerant plants, ferns and their relatives, aquatic plants, gymnosperms and flowering-plant evolution. Some exhibits are inside the greenhouse and others are around it. The site supports botany teaching, research and learning visits; access to research areas or a special session should be arranged with the department.
The current departmental museum page publishes 08:30–15:30, with government and public holidays excluded. The university’s visitor-service page also states that admission is free and advance booking is not required for an ordinary visit. Confirm the intended day, especially a weekend or holiday, and ask separately about organised groups, workshops or a special tour. Published general access does not establish availability for every activity.
For enquiries, the museum page lists 022185485,022185502 and 022186158. The departmental email is botany.sci@chula.ac.th. Its transport page gives MRT Sam Yan via Chamchuri Square as one approach; ask for the current campus entrance and walking route if access assistance is needed.
University postal wording varies between Wang Mai and Pathum Wan subdistrict, including on the departmental page itself. This listing uses the uncontested Pathum Wan District parent and retains the exact original point rather than treating the postal address as a new entrance. The university photograph illustrates the greenhouse frontage; its capture date and present access/layout are unconfirmed.
