Baan Hollanda
บ้านฮอลันดา
An information centre on the site of the Dutch East India Company's trading post, telling the story of Dutch–Siamese trade in the 17th century.
In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) established a trading post south of Ayutthaya's city centre, one of the most important European trading bases in Siam at the time. In 2013, the Baan Hollanda information centre opened on the site. Housed in a small Dutch-style building, it displays archaeological finds from the trading post, old maps and the history of the trade. Outside, you can see the foundations of the original trading post. Admission is about 50 baht; it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (check the official source). Located on the south bank of the Chao Phraya River, southeast of the old city, near the Japanese Village and Wat Phanan Choeng.
