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).

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!

Un musée vraiment pas comme les autres ! Installé dans un superbe bâtiment colonial rénové datant de 1921, en plein cœur historique de Bangkok, le Musée du Siam propose une visite originale, ludique et passionnante sur l’identité thaïlandaise. Ici, on ne vient pas seulement pour regarder des objets exposés derrière des vitrines, mais pour interagir, jouer, questionner. À travers l’exposition permanente "Decoding Thainess", on explore ce que signifie être Thaïlandais : histoire, religion, traditions, royauté, culture pop, cuisine, mode, influences coloniales... tout y passe, avec beaucoup de pédagogie et d’humour. Le musée est très bien pensé, aussi bien pour les adultes que pour les enfants ou les ados. Les installations sont modernes, immersives, et le parcours vous fait voyager à travers les époques sans jamais devenir ennuyeux. C’est une super façon de comprendre la complexité et la richesse de la culture thaïe. 📍 Parfaitement situé (juste en face de la station MRT Sanam Chai, sortie 1), il se trouve à quelques pas du Wat Pho et du Grand Palais — idéal pour combiner les visites. 🎟 Entrée à 100 bahts, tarif réduit pour les enfants et étudiants. 🕰 Ouvert du mardi au dimanche, de 10h à 18h. ☕ Bonus : un café et une boutique sympa dans la cour intérieure. 👉 En résumé : un musée intelligent, interactif et rafraîchissant, à recommander à tous ceux qui veulent en apprendre davantage sur la Thaïlande autrement qu’à travers les temples. Une excellente surprise !
