Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Geoff GMelbourne, Australia952 contributionsWhat a great experience - an amazing house and gardens celebrating the life of renowned local architect Jim Thompson - who just mysteriously disappeared one day while out on a walk. Well worth a visit and go for the lunch - it was great.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SurzenLondon, UK181 contributionsVery useful and recommended visit to this huge museum on Thai history starting approx 5,000 years ago - and with help from 2 very knowledgeable ladies we had a great tour in English which lasted well over 2 hours!
English tours are certainly available on Wednesday, from 09:30and they are free of charge as run by volunteers; entrance however was THB200 but was money well spent.
After all the walking, up and down stairs and between builduings there us a small family run Thai restaurant, extremely affordable and with good food (recommended their Pad Thai)
Enjoy!Written 7 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is guided in small groups (ours was 3 children + parents) where the guide talks through each experiment and explains them.
I thought the science lesson (added cost) was better than the museum and i fully recommend doing that - our 6 and 9 year olds still talk about it
It's on the 5th floor of the shopping mall
You have to book ahead or you may have to wait to be let in (we had to wait over 90 minutes)Written 21 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its graphic and not for children but if medical background will find reallly good.
I left hubby out front. Was dissapoinyed a lot of pieces were in loan to another museum.
Seeing road accident victims was totally different toseeing them in hospital.
I found it fascinating and imformative but others are grossed out.
Didnt feel right to take photos and some places reuesting not too.
If in medical field would probably like better than others.Written 21 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A good visit will take around 90 minutes and the figures are interspersed with activities that reflect the people or theme. Its a joy to watch the kids having funWritten 22 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ThitaphaThailand5 contributionsMuseum Siam is a must-see when visiting Bangkok. It feels like you've been transported back in time as soon as you walk in. With incredible care, they have re-created all of these traditional Thai homes, marketplaces, and celebrations. You can almost smell the street food sizzling! The museum makes everything interactive and interesting
Museum Siam gives such an authentic look at what Thailand is all about, past and present. Definitely put it on your bucket list!Written 3 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are 8 rooms connected into a spacious house. In the rooms many artefacts from different countries and periods, not only Thai. Pottery, jewellery, carvings, musical instruments etc. Not a typical tourist place, so quiet. If you want to enjoy something different I could recommend to spend around 2 hours here. Photography inside is not allowed and entrance fee is 100 baht.Written 17 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- thomas EBremen, Germany9 contributionsA nice kinda "Museum" more an original house, where someone lived inside long times ago.
It´s a good place to calm down and imagine the life in Bangkok nearly 80 years ago.
The staff is so friendly and can explain some things in english, if you ask.
You can watch the origin items, they´ve used or where used around 1930.
It´s completly free, you only have to sign in and if you leave a tip, they will be happyWritten 5 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place was clean, the staff welcoming and helpful. The exhibition was wonderful and interesting too. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to carefully read the few English texts because the staff was asking to move to another room. The audio guide was in a very poor state. The voice was broken, the background music too loud. But the responsible guide at the second and third floor was fantastic. A very kind and thoughtful young man. He taught us so much about Thai culture and history. Plus he answered all of our questions. ☺️Written 5 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Janet BIndio, CA69 contributionsJust steps away from the steel and glass retail of Terminal 21 at the Asok BTS stop is this “northern Thai ethnological museum “. It is an exposition of the motivating beliefs, ideologies and practice of the Lanna lifestyle in northern Thailand through the exhibits in this original 19th century northern Thailand home. There are adequate signs in English and subtitled videos. You can read every sign and watch every video in about an hour. Opens at 9 am Tue - Sunday. Admission was 100 Bhat or about 3$.Written 3 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

You can just walk around the park which has a number of really nice restaurants and take a personalised tour of the house which we did, it lasts about 50 minutes. The tour of the house was well worth it. The is a beautiful building constructed througout in teak, you get to find out the background as to whom built it and why and also learn about where the very large collection.of artefacts came from. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.Written 31 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarakit CKo Kret, Thailand726 contributionsA museum cum residence that you should not miss, located in the city centre behind Siam Paragon and Siam Kempinski Hotel. It is still home to Thailand's Crown Princess. The grounds are beautifully manicured, populated with numerous local plants and trees. The exhibitions depict life in the royal palace over the past century. There is also a restaurant served by the palace staff. Reservations are required for both venues. Entry fee is 150 baht.Written 28 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
