Bangkok Library Digital library and information center for Bangkok, Thailand

Maruey at Esplanade is the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) library and learning center at the Esplanade Shopping Center Ratchadapisek. Located on the second floor, Maruey at Esplanade Knowledge and Resource Center has books, seminars, and computer-based services for students and investors in Thailand. There’s also a settrade.com café for visitors.

The Esplanade is a shopping mall and entertainment complex on Ratchadapisek Road in Din Daeng district, Bangkok. It is owned and managed by Siam Future Development PLC.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) building on Ratchadapisek Road in Khlong Toey district remains closed due to fire damage allegedly caused by retreating anti-government protesters. Viewed from the nearby road, the building appears to have sustained significant smoke and fire damage confined to the lower floors only.

A report in the Nation suggested that repairs would take a month to complete but this now appears to be overly optimistic. There are no signs of repair work in progress. Security staff guarding the empty building reported an "expected delay of several months" before the building resumed a normal service.

SCB Park Plaza or Siam Commercial Bank Plaza is a high-rise building complex situated next to Ratchadapisek Road, close to the intersection with Phaholyothin Road. The complex comprises four large office towers and a small shopping plaza.

The Thai Bank Museum (พิพิธภัณฑ์ธนาคารไทย) is located at the SCB Park Plaza on Ratchadapisek Road. Managed by Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) – the oldest bank in Thailand – the museum houses a collection of documents and materials that recount the evolution of Thailand's financial and banking system.

The ground floor includes a comfortable reception area, computer terminals, and a large exhibition space which was being used as an art gallery when we last visited (April 7, 2010). Most information boards and notices are written in Thai and English. The museum is attractively presented throughout and for anyone interested in money or banking this museum is worth at least a short visit.
