"Museum Siam Khet Phra Nakhon is an interactive museum full of surprises. On the outside, it's a stately, neoclassical building. Once you step in, you'll see a juxtaposition of antique fixtures and technology combined with modern art. Each of the 14 rooms are designed to showcase the history, culture, and evolution of the Thai people through video, audio, and interactive elements. There's a lot to absorb, and you could easily—and happily—spend three hours wandering." - Katie Lockhart

At first, i thought that this Museum is for presenting Thai historical but it not much on Thai historical. It showing but most of it presenting on Thailand Evolution of product and some culture. Also, it showing some Thai believe, for example, ghost. Price is really cheap and they also provide a free ticket for kids.

The museum, focused on Thai history and culture, turned out to be more interesting than I expected. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with an interest in these subjects. There’s an audio guide available in English, German, French, and other languages. The museum isn’t overwhelmingly large, so it can be explored in a relatively short amount of time. Pros: Audio guided Not so challenging to clear It does what you expect of a museum Cons: Not that I can think of

Nice museum which really well describes Thai’s history in various perspectives. Love their interactive features throughout the exhibition. My fav would be the food room. Their exterior also gorgeous. You can hang in there during great weather.

The Siam Museum is currently hosting the exhibition "Decoding Thai," which delves into the evolution of "Thainess." This exhibition presents content spanning from the past to the present, highlighting the social context that evolves with changing times. It offers a new presentation style, narrating the story of Thainess through multiple dimensions, including history, architecture, tradition, culture, cuisine, and attire. My wife and I visited this museum around ten years ago. There were numerous fascinating exhibits to explore and read about, along with plenty of photogenic spots for photography enthusiasts.

The museum was simply amazing! Almost everything was interactive, just don't forget to walk around with audio guide. From food culture to children's games and school life, you learn everything about their past and even current identity struggles. I would recommend sparing 1-2 hours for the museum and have fun while learning.

Good for tourist or small group travelers who wish to understand Thai culture. The museum is a 3-storey colonial-style building, displaying works related to culture, beliefs and the warm charm of Thainess, with a touch of humor. Take the elevator to start viewing on the 3rd floor and continue down to the 1st floor. At the back there is a wide lawn and a health food restaurant and a cute cafe. Sit and admire the beautiful garden and vintage buildings. I've been there twice and still like it.

I like that it is interactive not just displaying things on selves. There is a room with plates and when you scan the codes on the plate, it shows recipes of some authentic thai foods. You could also borrow their tape that gives guides in english and other languages. Each room has its own theme ranging from history, politics, religions and pop culture. Overall, a pleasant visit.

The museum was full of interactive activites from treasure hunt to history show and role play activity. My kid absolutely loved playing card games to know more about Thai culture. The traditional food room was fun, too. Strongly recommend to families with kids.
