Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Specialty 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.
2. Patpong Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 157 reviews
And you thought Patpong was only about Go-Go bars and shopping? The mythos of this little street in Bangkok has developed over a hundred years, morphing from a rice paddy to the entertainment district of today, with its Go-Go bars, Ping Pong shows and ladyboys. The CIA set up shop there, and David Bowie as well as a lot of other celebrities explored these streets. The Patpong museum provides you with a rich, detailed view of the history, offering exhibits as well as multi-media, interactive games and re-enacted shows. History can and should be fun as well!

Great history of how Patong was created and evolved. Andrea gave us a great tour with lots of interesting info. Highly recommended if you have seen enough ping pong balls fired at you.

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

A must if you are in Bangkok. A 30 minute taxi ride (you need to book entry before you go) and you end up in an enchanted garden displaying the amazing collection amassed by Mr Prasart over his lifetime. The collection of treasures are displayed in a series of restored or reproduction traditional Thai buildings. Mr Peter who clearly is enthralled by looking after the collection is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Go there, you wont be disappointed.

Reviewed By APinBKK - Bangkok, Thailand
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.
