Arms room Grand Palace Bangkok

If I remember the arms room correctly (after almost 40 years), You walked right into a large structure at street level (after a small court) and it also had a large collection of original firearms in addition to the swords. It had not only Colt gatling guns with and without carriages on the floor, but also Colt revolving rifles in racks along with a lot of other old but less vaulable stuff.

Is this the same area you all went into?

Yep that's it! it's the last stop on the route they have marked out as you walk through the palace grounds. Didn't see the Gatlin gun, but I WAS distracted by all the steel.

The museum is the first thing you hit after buying the tickets just before you enter the ticket taking area, it's easy to walk right past it as you follow the line going to the turnstyle but don't it is fabulous.
