Museum of Siam

 

The Museum of Siam is located on the 2.8 acre ground of the former ministry of commerce on Sanam Chai road as a part of the old town district - the center of living heritage. The compound consists of three main building of which the main one of interest is the permanent exhibition building which was built during the reign of King Rama VI in Neo Classical style. Within this building you can view the exhibition entitled " The Account of Thailand" 

The history of Thailand unfolds via exhibitions and interactive video displays from ancient times up to the present day. The exhibition enables visitors to learn about how the ancestors of South East Asia developed societies and cultures, settled to create towns, cities and eventually the modern countries of the present day.

Who are Thais and what is the meaning of Thainess are some of the types of questions that a visit to this museum will answer.
