Description:
Although a trip to the Corrections Museum requires a high threshold for violent images, it is worthwhile for those than can stand it. The prison was built in 1890 and now serves as a reminder of the gruesome treatment of criminals in Bangkok's past. Photographs, wax models, and access to the execution chamber and quarters all paint a picture of the prisoners' lives and how they got along with officers. Weapons are also on display, and they are not for the faint of heart! Admission is free.
