Bangkok Siam Museum Review


Hello, everyone! This is travel blogger Jones. Today, I will tell you about the most memorable place during my trip to Bangkok, the Siam Museum.

The Siam Museum, which I happened to find while riding a tuk-tuk with my Thai friends, caught my eye at first sight. The exterior, with its harmonious combination of beige buildings and red roofs, made me feel like I had gone back in time.

As soon as I entered the museum entrance, I could feel the unique Thai atmosphere. I rented an audio guide with the guidance of a friendly staff member and started to tour in earnest.

This place has a nice neighborhood atmosphere and is close to the subway, so it is easy to access. The exhibition hall here displays various things such as traditional Thai clothing and food. I recommend coming with children.

If you want to look around the history of Siam, I recommend this place. Since Siam preserves the early history of Thailand, you will be able to learn about the wonderful history of Thailand.

I first saw this building from outside while riding a tuk-tuk with my Thai friends. I remember being interested in the building because it had a well-maintained garden and the beige and red roof colors matched well.

Hands-on exhibition: Rather than simply looking at it, the museum adopts a method of learning history by touching and experiencing it.

Various topics: Exhibitions cover a variety of topics, including the daily lives of Thai people, mythology, art, and science.

Utilization of the latest technology: The museum uses the latest technology, such as multimedia and interactive exhibitions, to present more vivid exhibitions.
