Bangkok Corrections Museum

The Bangkok Corrections Museum occupies three preserved blocks of a former maximum security prison, featuring exhibits about Thailand's penal system through different periods.

Built in 1890 during King Chulalongkorn's reign after studying Singapore's prisons, the facility transformed into a museum in 1987 when the government preserved select structures.

The museum displays the evolution of Thailand's justice system, from traditional punishment methods to modern rehabilitation approaches, reflecting societal changes over time.

Located on Maha Chai Road, the museum opens on weekdays with free admission, and visitors must remove their shoes when entering specific exhibition blocks.

Block 9 contains the original two-story cells and execution chamber, where visitors can see the space where prisoners had their final meals.
