WebsiteEstablished in 1884 (making it Thailand's first public museum) the National is reputedly the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia. It is definitely worth spending at least half a day here, particularly if you are heading to Ayutthaya or Sukhothai, the former Thai capitals. The vast array of items covering periods from Neolithic times can be a bit overwhelming, and the English labeling can be disappointing in some parts, so it is best to visit with a tour. These are operated in English, German, French and Japanese. Times vary so please call in advance.
