Bangkok National Museum
Originally built in 1782, the National Museum is located within
the grounds of the Royal Palace, just a 15 minute walk from the
palace of the Emerald Buddha, and displays thousands of artefacts
ranging all the way from Neolithic times to present day. It is
known as Thailand's central treasury of art and archaeology. Many
of the actual buildings are works of art themselves, surrounded by
brightly-coloured pavilions and boasting some of Southeast Asia's
most ornate jewellery and historical treasures.
