Museums in Thailand have been traditionally boring and dull places to spend an afternoon. That all changed with the opening of the Museum of Siam on Sanamchai Road in Bangkok. Located in the former premises of the Ministry of Commerce, the museum is just a short walking distance south of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. If you have a few hours spare after visiting the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, then I highly recommend that you visit this museum which tries to answer the question, “Who are the people of Siam?” Through a series of exhibitions in different rooms you are taken through Thai history from past to present.
The normal price is 100 Baht for Thai people and 300 Baht for foreigners. But, during the following dates you can explore the museum for free:
- Thursday 2nd August– Asanha Bucha Day
- Friday 3rd August 2012 – Khao Phansa (Start of Buddhist Lent)
- Sunday 12th August 2012 – Mother’s Day
