The National Gallery — Attraction in Chana Songkhram Subdistrict

Raciest! like most of Thailand attractions. At the ticket office to the right hangs a sign in 2 languages 1st Thai 2nd English(coz all Europeans speak and come from England!). In Thai is a much more cheaper price that is meant for Thai face only and in English is 4 times more the price. They will say this is the foreigner (that the culture respect for Europeans) price but never asked to see my I.D. Simply they look my face and issues me a high price(racial profiling). I argued a little but the uneducated simpleminded woman remain sure in her way that this is righteous and why should i not pay more. If i did this to non Europeans in my nation my shop would be shut down before evening and I'm in court tomorrow for Racial Discrimination. Also my photo on paper the next day no doubt with the titles "White Racists" i will have to move home from all the hated and dog poo hitting my door. They have joined the UN and this white face pricing system is illegal report it not accept it . Ask yourself how many of them immigrate to our European country and live under the Equality Act and do a back stroke in it. Never will they recruit a qualified European Chef to work in there THAI restaurants in Europe but they only have Thai ethnics immigrants only. Go to a Italian , Spanish tapas bar , french bakery in Asia and see .......only there own kind work there not a single job opportunity a European. Asians are the biggest Farang Racist hypercritical...

“Often touted as Southeast Asia’s biggest museum, Thailand’s National Museum is home to an impressive collection of religious sculpture, best appreciated on one of the museum’s twice-weekly guided tours (free with museum admission; 9.30am Wed & Thu) . Most of the museum’s structures were built in 1782 as the palace of Rama I’s (King Praphutthayotfa; r 1782–1809) viceroy, Prince Wang Na. Rama V turned it into a museum in 1874, and today the institute consists of three permanent exhibitions spread out over several buildings. The history wing has made impressive bounds towards mainstream curatorial aesthetics with a succinct chronology of prehistoric, Sukhothai-, Ayuthaya- and Bangkok-era events and figures. Gems include King Ramkamhaeng’s inscribed stone pillar, said to be the oldest record of Thai writing; King Taksin’s throne; the Rama V section; and the screening of a movie about Rama VII, The Magic Ring . The decorative arts and ethnology exhibit covers every possible handicraft: traditional musical instruments, ceramics, clothing and textiles, woodcarving, regalia and weaponry. The archaeology and art history wing has exhibits ranging from prehistoric to the Bangkok period. In addition to the main exhibition halls, the Buddhaisawan (Phutthaisawan) Chapel includes some well-preserved original murals and one[…]”

The day I went to the National Gallery in Bangkok was an unexpectedly sad day in an otherwise enjoyable trip to Thailand.

We were informed by the box office staff that the museum was only half open, and my friend and I paid 200 baht per person for admission. The number of works on display was very small. After the visit, I looked at other people's reviews to write a review and found that the museum was only charging 30 baht for a limited time because it was only half open. What was surprising was that when visitors complained to the ticket taker about being charged 200 baht for a partially open museum, it was written that she gave them tickets for 100 baht or 30 baht. Someone even wrote in a review that they paid 200 baht and got a ticket with 30 baht written on it. I never imagined that I would be scammed at a national institution for the price of a ticket. Even in a gallery...
