The National Museum Bangkok, Bangkok

This museum has some beautiful collections, especially of religious relics and royal treasures, which are well presented. The quality of the pieces is very impressive, and a testament to Thailand's rich history. Tickets for foreigners are 200 baht, and it is worth noting you cannot take food, drinks or any bag larger than a handbag inside. It is also worth considering wearing shoes which are easy to take on and off, as 5/6 exhibitions require you to take your shoes off. The only improvements I would suggest for this museum is perhaps providing more context for the pieces and their historical settings. I am a qualified archaeologist, but not being overly familiar with Thai history I found it hard to understand some pieces. Perhaps more visual aids such as maps or recreating historical scenes would be useful?

The national museum is surprisingly a great place for visit in Bangkok. Located on a historic estate, the buildings have their charms and breeze from the past. Really recommended for both locals and foreigners to learn and appreciate Thai history and culture. The museum has been renovated, professionally improved and organised, since the last time I visited 5 years ago (though, some buildings are still under renovation). Displayed objects are stunningly good and captured most of Thailand history and events from past to present. For museum lovers, could spend at least half a day.
