★★★★★Edited 6 months agoVisited in June 2025. The Siriraj Medical Museum is nicknamed as the Museum of Death. it is open to the public and is highly important for medical professionals and students. This museum consists of five museums: Ellis Pathological Museum, Congdon Anatomical Museum, Songkran Niyomsan Forensic Medicine Museum, Parasitological Museum, and Sood Sangvichien Prehistoric Museum Laboratory. I was able visit three museums as other two were temporarily closed for public due to some events. There are two types of ticket packages. So check before buying. Finally, I will say it is not easy for everyone to visit these due to the nature of the exhibits. Photography is not allowed inside.
