Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Museums
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

This was an interesting place where we learned a bit of history and saw the development of Thai currency through history. The displays and activities were well thought out and excellent. This place also has a fantastic library that may be the quietest place in all of Bangkok if not all of Thailand. The whole place is interesting and fun even for kids. Simply a great place with wonderful staff. It is free and combined well with the Coin Museum Treasury Department Thailand. Thank you to the staff for being helpful and providing a good experience.

Like the idea of this exhibition. My friends recommended this place and I really love it. The staffs are helpful. The exhibition is really interactive and very interesting. There are two options of the tour; route 1 (7 exhibition rooms) takes about one hour and 45 minutes. Route 2 (2 exhibition rooms) takes about 2 hours). You can either choose to visit one option or both. You should spare 4 hours for the trip if you would like to see everything, recommended if the weather outside is extremely hot or heavy rain and can't go anywhere. Entry ticket cost just under £5 and the audio translation device is around £25 (deposit).. However, some of the staffs are also very good at English. Anyway, overall this is a very place to visit if you would like to know more about Thai culture and history. 2. The Heart and Soul of the Nation

Besides the beautiful display of her majesty clothes, I enjoyed the video interviews ( in English) of her and the King. Easy to see why they were so beloved by the people

The museum tells you about the early history of Bangkok and the specifically the Banglamphu community. The displays are imfornative and the guide was eager to tell us about each exhibition. Furthermore, there is a portion about each of the seven communities in the area around the museum. After visiting you will definitely want to visit and walk around the neighborhoods. You can also explore Phra Sumen Fort, which is right next door.

This place brings you back in time to those good old days in the reign of King Rama V. It is located in the red building called Thawon Watthu Building which takes only few minutes walk from Grand Palace and there is no entrance fee. The building comprises of two sections which are King Rama V Memorial Exhibition and King Rama V Memorial Library. The Fine Arts Department registered it as the National Ancient Monument in 1977. The exhibition shows the work of King Rama V, one of the greatest Thai kings. More information on his works and way of life can be found in the library which contains books written by King Rama V, biographies and his works. Love the place and the wonderful architecture of this building!

We’re interesting museum with lots of things to see. Terracotta Warriors are on display until December 2019 which was very good to see. The display of carriages is excellent. There are many galleries so lots to see would recommend a visit.
