ZONE 2 - THE COPPER VATS HALL

The original hall contains 3 original copper vats on the lower lever and one on the upper level is the main attraction in itself. All of the machines as well as walls materials, floors and ceilings are original, imported from Germany. It was the most technologically advanced brewery in its day, continually updated and used until 2001.

 
Zone 2 has 7 main and sub-stations displaying different topics. The first, a sub-station at the top of the stairs, show copies of the original documents presented at the opening ceremony of the brewery on 7 July 1934, presided over by His Royal Highness The Prince Narisara Nuwattiwong. The original letter is in the archive of the prince's descendants at Plai Nern Palace.
