Chulalongkorn University Museum of Natural History — Attraction in Pathum Wan Subdistrict

My recent visit to the Chulalongkorn University Museum of Natural History left me with a profound sense of disappointment. Upon arriving at the museum, I was met with a locked door and a complete lack of any signage indicating closure. This resulted in a wasted trip and a significant inconvenience.

The museum's failure to provide clear and visible information regarding its closure is unacceptable. Visitors should not be left guessing about the museum's operating hours, especially when traveling to a specific location with the intention of visiting.

While I could glimpse some of the exhibits from outside the museum, this was far from a satisfactory experience. The true value of a museum lies in the ability to interact with the exhibits and gain insights from knowledgeable guides. Without access to the interior, I was deprived of the museum's intended purpose.

The lack of transparency regarding the museum's closure and the inability to fully experience the exhibits warrant a single-star rating. I urge the museum's management to take immediate steps to improve communication with visitors and ensure that the museum is accessible during its advertised operating hours.

Recommendations:

Implement clear and visible signage indicating closure dates and times. Provide advance notice of closures on the museum's website and social media platforms. Consider offering online virtual tours or exhibits during periods of closure.

Other than that, this is probably the best natural science museum in Thailand with multiple specimens from both vertebrates and invertebrates animals in both forms of dry taxidermy, chemical taxidermy, skeleton/shells, and other animal parts. Excellent for studying as each specimen is a really well preserved form of animals that 80-90% of them are well taken care of regulary (some of them is visibly lack of care/really old that part of the skin is withering away further more or their preserved chemicals turn yellow).

This place also shows multiple scientists' achievements related to each room and other local technologies...

Great free, self service museum. It's a bit dimly lit and a bit overcrowded.. But it is free and has lots of wet and dry specimens.

If you're interested in the Thai local natural history, or you like science and are in the area, try to visit all the free university museums, there are quite a few on the campus. Take note that many of them only open on certain days and for short hours, so do plan your trip well in advance and...
