In their words
“It’s not really a “must-see” in Bangkok, especially if you’re short on time”
“However, the space is not very large, and the ticket price feels a bit high for the duration.”
“The museum is more of a playful photo playground than a traditional museum, which makes it super fun.”
“If you are looking for a break from sightseeing temples in Bangkok, head over to Madame Tussauds.”
