The 22 Best Things to Do in Bangkok (Updated 2025)

"Established in 1874, the National Museum offers the largest collection of local art and artifacts I’ve seen in the city—highlights include musical instruments, recorded music, ornate royal funeral chariots, and impressive wooden carvings; it’s gradually becoming more interactive and English-friendly, offers English tours on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:30am, and is open Wednesday–Sunday 9am–4pm with admission around 200 THB." - Matthew Kepnes
