Visiting Bangkok: My Suggested 3-5 Day Itinerary for 2025

"I found the National Museum informative about Thai culture — opened in 1874 by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) — with highlights like musical instruments, recorded music, ornate royal funeral chariots and impressive wooden carvings, although the museum is not very large and the exhibit signs aren’t very detailed." - Matthew Kepnes
