Museum Siam

We went here on Tuesday, just a few tourists and primary students. We bought tickets for 50 baht, since we're students. The staff were all friendly and nice, though not all of them were talkative. I wasn't a big fan of history, but it was great to learn something more about my motherland ✨ This place was filled with something educational and historical to experience and learn from! Anyways, the toilets were clean!! --loved them!!

Museum Siam is an absolute gem and was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Bangkok. To begin with, one of the best surprises was the free kids' play area they offer..... a space where you can register and safely leave your kids while you explore the museum. As parents traveling with young ones, this thoughtful offering was a game changer. Our boys (6 and 5 years old) had a great time playing while we took our time exploring. We also opted for the audio guide, which was extremely helpful in providing context and detailed explanations as we moved through the exhibits. The museum is informative, interactive, and very engaging, offering a deep dive into how Thai culture evolved, and how its roots trace back to Indian Hindu culture. The exhibits explaining the architecture of temples and the symbolism of Garuda were particularly fascinating. Having seen Garuda idols across the city, learning about their spiritual and cultural significance truly enriched our experience. A heartwarming moment came at the end of our visit when our kids came running toward us, their playtime had ended as it was lunch break, and the caretakers sweetly found us inside to return the kids. It was such an authentic gesture that reflected the warmth and attentiveness of the staff. Overall, Museum Siam is a must-visit for anyone curious about culture and history. Whether you're a family, a history buff, or just someone looking to explore something meaningful and immersive...this place is well worth your time.

Perfect! It’s a simple and fun museum for people who love to take photos while learning about culture/history. Free audio guides are provided in common languages and the entrance fee is cheap at just 50THB for students. Throughout the museum, there’s opportunity for you to try costumes such as traditional Thai clothes, Thai culture event clothes and even the popular Thai high school uniform. It’s really fun and the costumes are clean. Recommend to bring your own tripod to take photos!

I’m not usually a museum person, but I actually really enjoyed my visit to Museum Siam. It’s interactive, modern, and does a great job of exploring Thai culture in a fun and engaging way. The exhibits touch on everything from traditional customs to how Thai identity has evolved over time. The museum highlights the three main pillars of the country — religion, monarchy, and nation — but it does so in a thoughtful and approachable way that doesn’t feel too heavy. I especially appreciated how hands-on many of the exhibits were — it’s definitely not a place where you just walk around reading signs. And the best part? Entry is only 100 baht! For the quality of the experience, that’s an absolute steal. Whether you're into history or just looking for something different to do in Bangkok, Museum Siam is worth a visit.

What does it mean to be Thai? Museum Siam attempts to address this question through a series of fun and interactive exhibits. It's a great way to find out more about Thai culture and heritage.

Museum Siam offers a really fun and engaging experience, especially on the second floor! The interactive activities there are a highlight and make learning about Thai culture enjoyable. The third floor, however, was a bit less captivating for me. I'd say this museum is particularly suitable for Thai people or foreigners who have lived in Thailand for at least 1-2 years and have some background knowledge of the country. It's not super in-depth on historical events, but rather focuses more on contemporary Thai culture and its roots, which is quite interesting. It takes only 1.5 - 2 hours to finish the whole place.

Compared with other museums. This one is a simple one but give you a lot of local culture and history. One of the highlights is the building itself. It’s really nice and traditional. However, the air conditioning isn’t so strong here. Do not recommend you to come when the weather is too hot. Also, please remember to get your headset when you purchase the ticket.

CLOSED ON MONDAY Nice way to see Thailand history, culture, and ways of living. 100baht/ entrance fee with audio guide, 50baht for student. There was this exhibition (free) displaying childhood play/ toy which was super nolstagic (even I'm not Thai but it's all the same thing everywhere somehow).
