Batman Toy Museum in Bangkok

A new museum has opened in Bangkok that I am sure will delight children of all ages. Batcat Museum & Toys Thailand, which can be found in the Bang Kapi district of Bangkok, is a museum that specialises in collections of Batman and other superheroes. With 50,000 items in the museum, it is reputed to be one of the largest of its kind in Asia. The toys are all based on characters in comics, cartoons, TV shows and movies. Batman is obviously their focus, but they also have Superman, Spiderman as well as heroes and villians from Star Wars, The Avengers and Alien.

Batcat Museum & Toys Thailand is open Mondays-Fridays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and at the weekend from 9 a.m. to  8 p.m. Admission is 100 Baht for Thai adults and 60 Baht for Thai children. Foreigners have to pay 250/150 Baht. On Wednesdays admission is reduced to 50 Baht for everyone. The GPS co-ordinates are 13.763863509017186, 100.64535065877064. Click here for a map.
