national museum Since no photo is allowed, here's a detailed word describtion. History of Thai: Sukhothai kingdom Then Ayutthaya Ayutthaya fell by Burma in 1569 Prince Naresuan restore independence in 1584 Ayutthaya fall finally in 1767 by Burma then Thornburi Dynasty King Tak Sin Then Chakri Dynasty by King Rama I and built Bangkok Chinese settled in Thailand under royal patronage War with Vietnam, then peace Territory yielded to western power during Rama IV times Lost 9 parts of territory to Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam and Laos (but no mention on how those parts were gained) after King Ananda Mahidol (but he also modernized Thailand). Current Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej ascended.
I thought the history gallery was all, but it was only a small part. The National Museum is huge and unorganized; the WWII museum in Kanchanaburi may have modeled after this.
