In the reception area, the bronze ribbon seen outside almost seems to penetrate the building and curls from wall to wall with the words 'What does being Thai mean?' written in red luminous letters all along. The entire museum is dedicated to this ‘Thainess’, the history of Thai people and the evolution of their culture and traditions.
It is extremely well done. Once you enter the first room the giant ribbon called 'The Roong' seems to have crossed the wall to become a long panoramic screen on which you will be asked to watch a movie. This movie will immerse you through artistic and sometimes provocative images into the Thai spirit. Never boring and beautifully executed, it will wipe out your last doubts about the museum. After only 10 intense minutes, you are mentally ready to appreciate the many other surprises of the Museum of Siam
