Oddball Bangkok Museum

by Social Media Manager (29 May 2012)

Several museums in and around Bangkok delve into Thailand’s wacky and idiosyncratic side. Definitely the most macabre if the Si Quey Forensics Museum, which revels in pickled body parts and cadavers of serial killers. A close second, the Corrections Museum recreates the rough justice meted out to criminals in the not so old days. The Museum of Counterfeit Goods displays Thailand’s best forgeries; as long as you call ahead, you’re welcome. Out on the outskirts, the weekends only Houser of Museums is two-storey sprawl of retro curiosities. Meanwhile, it’s safe sex all the way at the Condom Museum, which features numerous stimulating exhibits. Finally, if you’re interested in Thai cinema, walk among old film sets, 16mm cameras and startlingly real waxworks of local cinema heroes at the entertain Thai Film Museum.
