Description and is it worth a visit
Exhibition Hall or Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall is one of the best places in Bangkok, where it is really interesting and entertaining to get acquainted with the culture and history of Thailand. The only important condition for visiting it is a good knowledge of spoken English, otherwise you just won't understand anything during the tour, and just looking at the exhibits here is not particularly interesting. The museum is large and modern, consists of three floors, plus a viewing platform on the fourth floor. Some exhibits are interactive.
The visit provides for the accompaniment of tour guides along one of several routes through the museum. To do this, a group of visitors gathers every 20 minutes and, accompanied by guides, goes along one of the routes to choose from. Even if the group does not gather, you will be taken alone. There is also an audio guide (in English) that helps you understand a lot of what you see. The tour is very entertaining: you will be involved in the use of interactive exhibits, watch an unusual film about history. The tour lasts a little over an hour, and all this is included in the ridiculous cost of a visit of 100 baht (3.07 USD).
