★★Worth it·Medical museum
Siriraj Medical Museum
พิพิธภัณฑ์การแพทย์ศิริราช
The famous Museum of Death inside Siriraj Hospital — forensics, anatomy and parasites, unflinching and unforgettable. One ferry hop from Wang Lang.
Seven collections in the hospital's old wings — forensic, anatomical and parasitological among them — anchored by Si Quey, the 1950s serial killer whose preserved body was only cremated in 2020 after a public campaign. Clinical, not sensational; the prenatal halls are genuinely moving. Not for queasy stomachs.
