Museum Siam

Amazing museum showcasing the history, culture and developement of Thailand. Several very interesting exhibits with my favourite being the staircase of abandoned clothes!! Many great photo opportunities to be had! Lots of school children visiting on the day of my visit. The museum was not too busy and was very comfortable to walk around.

This museum is truly a gem, showcasing amazing exhibits that delve deep into the rich history and culture of the Thai people.
It's a must for those who eager to explore the roots of Thainess and witness its evolution into the beautiful tapestry of traditions and heritage that we see today.

A cool interactive museum about what it means to be Thai and what "thainess" is. A very interesting modern exposition, where both children and adults hang out for 2-2.5 hours for sure. Lots of details, thoughtful space, interesting interaction with the exhibits! We had a great time, we didn't want to leave. Excellent English audio guide. Friendly service! Totally recommend 🫶🏻

Very well organised museum in a beautiful colonial style building featuring Thainess and other exhibition.

The exhibitions here are well designed and artsy.

The place is clean and educational. Staff is well trained and friendly. Atmosphere was good and somewhat nostalgic for Thais.

Worth a visit...

A very fun and interesting place..
A modern take on a museum, lots of fun items from the recent history of Thailand.. My wife and I had a lot of fun looking at the food section to lots of interesting food history 😋

Located just at Sanam Chai MRT station (blue line) Museum Siam is very convenient to visit. This museum is worth visiting of all Thais and tourist. At the time I visited, The museum theme was "Thainess". This theme is very fun for Thais, as we can see many things in our everyday life that we overlooked, but also for tourists who will be fascinated by multicultural and multi-activity of Thai's daily life. Pls dont miss !!!

This museum was fantastic. The displays were visually impressive and informative. A must-visit for any visitors interested in the history of Thailand and understanding a little about the Siam culture.

"In the beginning, I harbored the notion that the museum would be rather dull, merely showcasing an antiquated representation of Thai identity. As it happened, my initial impressions were completely off the mark. The exhibition exceeded my expectations, seamlessly integrating technology in a way that resonated with individuals from the '90s, much like myself.

While some aspects may challenge personal tastes and beliefs, it is essential to recognize that it presents a truthful narrative. I find solace in the fact that Thailand has, in its own small stride, triumphed over the shackles of obsolescence. This shift is indeed a cause for celebration, marking a positive evolution that I'm pleased to witness."

Wonderful interactive exhibition for those who want to better understand Thailand and what being Thai means. My visit lasted about 3 hours and I enjoyed my time there very much. Almost every room got my attention and gave me the information I wanted. Before leaving the museum, I bought the book of the exhibition because it is very well done as the exhibition itself.

This is good place to learn about Thai culture, nearby Wat Pho and Grad Palace. You can combine on your tour. 100B for each person and free ticket for above 60 years old. They have free students uniforms for photoshoot. And amazing transformation show.

They organize special events sometimes. It is very convenient to get there(get off at MRT Sanam Chai station, exit 1). I was actually there for the Knowledge Book Fair (besides buying books, I wanted to try the runner-up of World Kaphrao Thailand Grand Prix 2023 (Jitsodchuen: จิตสดชื่น). The event lasts until 18 Feb 2024.

Very nice interactive museum about what is thainess. Three floors and very suitable for children.
Admission is 100 baht for adult and audio guide is free.

The night museum festival is ongoing in Bangkok, yeay! From 15-24 December. And Museum Siam is my first visited museum in this city. And I think this museum will be a good choice. I love the architecture, the park in the backyard, the educational materials, and all the helpful staffs.

An awesome and interesting museum, which is also something for usually non museum visiting people and I can confirm the following from their website:

"The Decoding Thainess, which features 14 exhibition zones that leads to exploring all aspects of Thainess and its constant evolution from the past to present. Encompassing historical, architectural, traditional, culinary and clothing perspectives among others, the exhibition is impressively presented by using advanced technology and unconventional storytelling method that suit today’s needs of people and their media consumption behaviors."

An audio-guide in several languages can be used for free.

Entrance for public is 200baht, and for student 50baht (you only need to show your student card). And then i borrowed the headphone and recording for audio accompaniment when you walk through the 12 parts of the exhibition. You'll need at least 2 hrs or more to explore inside and outside part of the Museum (the backyard is beautiful!)

Museum Siam is an absolute gem for anyone eager to delve into the rich tapestry of Thai history, food, and culture. The exhibits offer a fascinating journey through the various epochs, providing an immersive understanding of the country's vibrant heritage.

One standout feature is the opportunity to dress up in traditional Thai clothing. It's not just about putting on garments; it's an interactive experience that transports you to another time. The chance to take pictures in these authentic outfits adds an extra layer of joy to the visit – creating memories that go beyond the typical museum experience.

The museum doesn't stop at history; it seamlessly integrates Thai cuisine into its narrative. The culinary section is a delightful exploration of flavors, showcasing the diverse and delectable aspects of Thai food. It's not just informative; it's an opportunity to see thai food come to live with their interactive plates.

A unique and memorable aspect of Museum Siam is the opportunity to experience Thai school life. Dressed in traditional Thai school uniforms, visitors get a taste of the educational system, gaining insights into the daily lives of Thai students. This interactive component adds a dynamic dimension to the museum visit, making it both educational and entertaining.

You can get a audio machince tour guide. The audio is recorded in different languages. Museum Siam is more than just a collection of artifacts – it's a living, breathing narrative of Thailand's past and present.

Small museum but very interesting. It is modern and take our attention. Worth the visit. You need 1h to cover everything.

Simple yet attractive museum. Cleanest museum I've ever been. It show the culture of Thailand. Very good. I spent 2 hours here.

🎶 I went to this place for the music&food event “Feed and retro” on the date of showtime artist P’Thee Chaiyadej and Bird&Heart. Very cool place and nice green garden, good atmosphere, enjoy music and variety of foods. Can’t wait to see the next event here 😍
