Thailand’s National Museum, established by King Rama V

in 1887. is the largest museum in Southeast Asia. The National

Museum can be found in the grounds of the former 18th Century

Wang Na Palace. It contains the largest collection of Thai artifacts

and artwork in the entire country. Most of them are from some

of Thailand’s oldest sites, such as Sukhothai and Ayutthaya.

Featuring colour photographs, maps and well displayed exhibits,

the National Museum should be the first port of call for those with

an interest in history and architecture.
