The words National, Science, and Museum are not 3 words that I would ever think would go together in Thailand. To my surprise the combination, and the actual museum(s), turned out to be quite impressive. On a day when the neighborhood's power was out for routine maintenance before rainy season we headed North for a visit to The National Science Museum.
The museum has 6 levels. We decided to head to the top and work our way down. The top floor was of course Traditional Thai Technology.
Heading down floor by floor we explored Science and Technology in Daily lives, S and T in Thailand, Basic Science and Energy, History of Discovery, S and T inventions, Science land exhibition, and finally the Electricity exhibit on the first floor.
After we touched absolutely everything on all 6 floors of the National Science Museum, we headed across the street to the Natural History Museum and then next door to the Information Technology Museum to touch everything there.
The best part about all of the museums were the awesome playgrounds. Each activity had some connection to science. The pendulum swing was the best.
Of course it adds to the fun to go with great friends!
