Treasures At The Bangkok National Museum

All sorts of good stuff to see at one of the biggest museums in Southeast Asia, The National Museum in Bangkok. Think of it as Thailand's Smithsonian museums all in one complex.

The architecture of the place is old and traditional. Monks in orange like it.

Gotta have a life size elephant model. All about the golden seating. Mmm, fancy, rich, silk textiles.

Impressive collection of colorful masks, used in the traditional dance performance, Khon.

Fun with ivory carving. Giant elephant tusks and a ceremonial shovel, used to commemorate the construction of a railroad. Not available at Home Depot.

Visiting and praying at the Buddhaisawan hall, an active temple still used in the complex.
