'''The Princess Mother Memorial Park''' ({{langx|th|อุทยานเฉลิมพระเกียรติสมเด็จพระศรีนครินทราบรมราชชนนี}}, often shortened to สวนสมเด็จย่าฯ, '''Suan Somdet Ya''', {{IPA|th|sǔan sǒm.dèt jâː|pron}}) is a park in [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]]. It was established in 1993, and opened on January 21, 1997, by King [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]], in remembrance of his mother, [[Srinagarindra]], the Princess Mother.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thailand |first=Museum |title=The Princess Mother Memorial Park :: Museum Thailand |url=https://www.museumthailand.com/en/museum/The-Princess-Mother-Memorial-Park |access-date=2023-10-05 |website=www.museumthailand.com}}</ref>
The park contains gardens and a reproduction of the royal mother's childhood home, as well as two exhibition halls showing memorabilia of the princess and the royal family and a [[pavilion]] with a statue of the princess. There is also a [[souvenir]] shop which sells items from charitable foundations and social welfare organisations which used to be under her patronage; the profits go to help the poor and the destitute.
The park is in [[Khlong San District]], close to the banks of the [[Chao Phraya River]], near the south end of [[Phra Pok Klao Bridge]], on Soi Somdet Chao Phraya 3, next to the [[Gong Wu Shrine]].
