Top 10 Museums in Silom, Thailand

June 22, 2021 Osvaldo Hartline

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.

Patpong Museum

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.

Reviewed By DickZe - Bangkok, Thailand

If you are in the Silom area this is certainly a place you should pop into. The building, almost 100 years old, is in itself interesting. But it is also a normally functioning library. The coffee shop in the courtyard has good coffee and croissants. Since this is an enterprise fully run by volunteers and relying on donations it is something worthy of our support. The collection consists of books in English on a wide variety of topics. They also accept donations of book collections in other languages, which are then sold at regular intervals or otherwise distributed. Some times there are concerts in the auditorium.
