National Museum & Wang Na Palace

History lovers should plan to spend at least half a day exploring the national museum. It's definitely worth a visit, especially if visiting nearby Wat Phra Kaew or the Grand Palace.

The Bangkok National Museum houses the largest collection of Thai art and artifacts in the country. You won't miss out on any of the fascinating ancient and modern histories of the country thanks to the fact that almost every exhibit is labeled in both Thai and English and that guided tours are also available in English. The Wang Na Palace of King Rama I, which is located on the museum's grounds, is still there today and serves as a symbol of Thai history. The Viceroy's throne, regalia, religious and ceremonial artifacts, ceramics, games, weaponry, musical instruments, and an impressive collection of Buddha images arranged by time period are all on display for visitors to see.
