Doing A Little Time At Bangkok's Corrections Museum

An hour or two is enough. Let's hope you don't have to spend years at the Corrections Museum. Always a guest, never an inmate. It's actually a snazzy place, all brand new and re-located from some old property deep in the city. The museum is now on the property of the Bangkok Corrections Department and is improved for your penal pleasure.

Imposing entrance. Nice touch with the raw concrete look. Entering the Big House.

Great question! No easy answer. Uhm, a lot of cells?

Gruesome history ahead. Specifically, a certain way of execution back in the day.

The modern method of execution, a flag signal to get the machine gun going. The unlucky inmate is strapped to a pole, blindfolded and behind a sheet, never a chance to know the when of being killed.

The end of the museum exhibition has a wall of hope, a little spin on all the good doing time does. ready for the exit.
