A Dive Into Bangkok’s History at National Museum ✨

Step back into royal history at the National Museum Bangkok 👑✨ The former private gallery of the old king now houses a treasure trove of artifacts and golden sculptures—perfect for history buffs and culture seekers! Get ready for Western-style architecture mixed with Thai flair, plus unique photo opportunities both inside exhibition halls and with close-up building details.

To get here, skip the long walk from the train station and hop on a tuk-tuk for the most efficient (and fun) ride—worth it for this hidden gem! Start at the grand entrance and work your way through airy galleries, admiring majestic sculptures like the indoor golden piece that’s a must-snap for your camera (look for tunnels of sunlight streaming in for insta-worthy shots). Don’t miss the main exhibition hall: the craftsmanship and royal memorabilia shine under the morning light. There are also a lot of buildings to roam around; however, taking videos inside the halls is STRICTLY prohibited.

Admission is 240 baht—on the pricier side compared to smaller cultural stops, but very reasonable considering the impressive artifact collection and the rich stories behind them. Arrive early if possible (doors open at 8:30 AM, Wednesday–Sunday), both to beat the busier midday hours and catch the best photo lighting. Bring water, as it can get warm inside, and pack light; large bags will need to be checked.

Some exhibition halls have low lighting and delicate objects—be mindful, keep voices down, and avoid touching displays. If you’re planning extensive sightseeing, wear comfy shoes as the galleries cover a lot of ground; and don’t forget sun protection for outdoor shots around the museum’s picturesque courtyards!
