Siriraj Medical Museum is definitely one of the top museum in Thailand. If not, one of the best in South East Asia. Whether you are here for academic research or just to wonder around to kill off some time. The easiest way to reach here is via ferry (siriraj pier), opposite to tha prachan pier. As many google reviewer says, although it is quite an adventure but surely is not for the faint of heart. Please do eat before you visit the space, and definitely not for children under 15 yrs old. There are 3 museums split inside. Dont worry, the counter receptionist will guide you with a leaflet (Eng Language as well) and there are English signage from one museum to another as well. Photos are not allowed except for the Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum and the pre historic building where you can get to know more during the area within WWII. Medical students, there should cover you many aspects of medical care, theory and researches purpose. But for quite - squeamish person like myself, I still do enjoy it, but it is very disturbing when seeing corpses and trauma injuries (homicide, suicide etc) graphic visuals. There is some audio tech to assist you for Non-Thai speakers. Not too sure about "request touring" for Eng language. Would be great to have one at an additional cost. When I was there, I only witnessed Thai Speaking small group tour/walk through. Ticket Prices for Local: 80 THB Ticket Prices for Foreigners: 250 THB This is an international level museum. Truly remarkable. Worth the visit. Highly Recommend. Do check their facebook page a day before you pay a visit. Incase they, closed for covid19 pandemic etc.

The best museum visited so far in Thailand. It's a must to visit if you have any interest in the human body. Pictures and videos online or on textbooks are nothing compared to the actual showcase of the bodies displayed (there are so many, in whole, or dissected in slices). This is not for the faint of heart. The showcase includes (Yes, all of them are real dead bodies): - Stab wounds - Different types of gunshot wounds/ explosive weapons - Drowning - Crush injuries - Infected wounds - All types of conjoined twins - many many types of injuries I do not know the names of Feel free to use Google lens to translate, but please adhere to their rule of no photography. Please be reminded they are real human bodies. Enterence fee for the medical museum is 200 Bhat which includes 2 separate location you can visit. An additional 100 can be paid if the historic part of a museum interests you. It might be a bit hard to find the museum as it is part of a running hospital but do look out for the rectangular orange sign pointing you in the correct direction.

Very interesting and educational experience in Bangkok.. some fascinating specimens. Photos aren't allowed for good reason - respect. Thai folk are v spiritual. Anyone who chose to take photos against these rules and posted them online, as curious as they are, are grade A tw*ts. There are two sites - the main museum is on the 2nd floor and has 3 rooms - you pay here. (beware: the Forensic Medicine Room has v gruesome photos on display as soon as you walk in). And the 2nd site, the Congdon Anatomical Museum on the 3rd floor of the Department of Anatomy building where you can put belongings into lockers. Some displays could do with updating with English translations but tbh I'm not holding it against them.. we're in Thailand and they don't owe English to us. Take the blue ferry (Chao Praya Express Boat) for 30B to Prannok for a lovely scenic journey then it's a 10 mins walk from the ferry port. The area around the ferry port also has a really cool market with lots of places to eat, drink and buy clothes.

Amazing medical museum showing many rare and unusual pathological specimens. It's a collection of different museum. The parasitology section was very kitch with plastic bed bugs immediately followed by a huge potted specimen of elephantitis of the scrotum. For medical people or perhaps horror or shock value fans. Follow the google maps to find. When you enter the building (see picture), go to the desk on the right, sign in then head up to the 2nd floor. There is another section of the museum a few buildings over however this is not that interesting and to be honest more specimens of similar things you can see in the first 3. There is a small coffee shop after the main museums however if you are even vaguely squeamish I recommend going on an empty stomach. Catch the ferry up to get there. It's well worth the trip and a beautiful way to see Bangkok.

I went December 2016. I was going for the Forensic museum but when I got there I found out there is more to see than that. Siriraj Bimuksthan Museum, Forensic museum,Congdon Anatomical museum, Ellis Pathological Museum,Parasitology museum and Sood Sangvichien museum. So it was a longer visit than I thought but all good. I made my way round the interesting rooms, don't go if you are of a weak stomach I will say. I found it to be very interesting and read a lot about the human body and in some rooms you are given and audio guide which is handy. A few of the rooms you have to put any bags and cameras in a locker. But I did manage to sneak a few photos ! I don't think its a place for a young family. There are bodies babies all cut up and many other bodies and body parts on display. But I found it to be very good.

The most in-depth visual guide to the human body. This place might upset and cause disgust with a lot of people because real dead bodies are preserved in various rooms at this location but if you're a medical student this place is s gold mine of information. You'll immediately get a stench of death as you enter each room. I'll warn you right now, there is a lot of dead babies and children so if you're squemish I would advise you not to visit but if you truly want to learn more about this incredibly complex organic machine that we call the human body then I will highly recommend a visit. You're actually not allowed to take photos inside. If you've got a strong stomach and you're keen to learn more about the human body then I would highly recommend giving this place a visit.
