History in Thailand and Attractions for your Family Vacation

Thailand National Museum

Thailand now has a national museum in most major provinces throughout the country. The museum concept began way back in the time of King Rama V. King Rama V was instrumental in bringing a western influence to Thailand.

Vimanmek Mansion

Vimanmek Mansion is the world's largest golden teakwood mansion with its elaborate architectural style reflecting a western influence.

Jim Thompson House

Jim Thompson's museum like preserved house is a remarkable Thai building in Bangkok that is certainly worth a visit by anyone curious to see an excellent example of traditional Thai architecture and South-east Asian art.

Historic Ayuthaya

A guided trip to the former capital of ancient Siam, Ayuthaya, is a great day trip from Bangkok. The temples and ruins of Ayuthaya are spectacular and some are still intact. Also, see life on the water as you take a river boat journey to the ruins from Bangkok, or vice versa, for an added cultural dimension to this day out.
