Reviews Museum Siam
What an amazing museum! The history, culture, and development of Thailand are presented through compelling exhibits. The staircase of abandoned clothes was particularly memorable. The place wasn’t crowded, even with school kids around, making it a pleasant experience.
If you're curious about how Thai identity has evolved, this museum is a great place to start. It’s smaller than the National Museum Bangkok, so you can see everything in about two hours. Start on the third floor and work your way down. Not a must-see, but worth a visit if you have time.
Museum Siam is a fantastic spot to dive into Thai culture and history. Each building has a unique theme, making the visit super engaging. I spent two hours there and still felt like I needed more time. It's a must-see for anyone interested in Thailand's rich heritage.
Museum Siam truly gives you the 360 insights and experience about Thailand.
A fun and informative museum about thainess.
