The Ministry of Tourism and Sports, in cooperation with the SUPPORT Foundation, organizes “Koh Kerd: The Living Legacy of Thai Craftsmanship,” a cultural tourism route connecting Bangkok and Ayutthaya Province.

The project aims to honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s contributions to the preservation of Thai arts, crafts, and traditional knowledge, raise awareness of Thailand’s living cultural heritage, encourage travel between Bangkok and Ayutthaya, and enhance the country’s reputation as a destination for art, culture, and traditional craftsmanship.

Through a free shuttle bus service from the Grand Palace area to the Koh Kerd SUPPORT Center in Bang Pa-in District, visitors can explore the All About Khon Learning Center and the Arts of the Kingdom Museum, featuring intricate works that showcase the exceptional skills of Thai artisans.

The free shuttle bus service operates every Wednesday through Sunday until 26 December 2026. Buses depart from Na Phra Lan Road in Bangkok (opposite Wiman Thewet Gate (Silpakorn University side)) at 11 a.m. and leave Koh Kerd, Ayutthaya (The Arts of the Kingdom Museum) at 3:30 p.m., with the return trip ending at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal.

Limited to 50 passengers per trip, advance registration is required through the official website: https://artofthekingdomfreebus.com/
