The planetarium show was packed, as was the queue for the 3pm show when we were exiting the 2pm one. A good few people around the science and exhibition halls, but they're so big and spacious that it was no problem getting to whichever interactive display you wanted to try and break.

Great pix and what a great kid getting you out of the house and away from temptation !
Do you have to upload each shot manully or is there away for aherm.......

Amateur Dave please

Newbie Dave pushing strong to be Lulutard of the Month.

If half the gang members aren't your multis, it's simply amateur.

Humm ... Amateur Dave

[Luigi]

Amateur Dave please

Anything you say, Newbie Dave.

[reinvented]

that looks really good

[Luigi]

that looks really good

Tiz.


Tiz also really convenient. Just get on the BTS. It's bout 100 meters from Ekamai.


4 hours would be a decent time to spend there. Lots and lots of fun interactive stuff for kids.

Tiz also criminally cheap.

Recommended at least once.

Went a few years ago and it was a shithole and all in Thai. Looks worth a revisit. Shall keep it under my hat for a daddy-daughter trip so that I can retain the title of The Fun One.

And also the bars nearby for a snack on the way home...

[taxexile]

were spinal tap doing an afternoon gig there?

[reinvented]

yup, wangle a quick bourbon street visit too. my daughter went years ago but looks worth taking the t'other one now

[DJ Pat]

The place hasn't been done up since the 90s ...unless they've done it in the last 12 months since l went

Did you get the wobbly seats in the planetarium?

Get food poisoning at the scraggy food court?

Catch diptheria in the rancid toilets?

At most you could kill a couple hours or so but it sure ain't a full day out


The drugs simulator was fun.

Great educational place for kids to grasp an idea of how things work. I doubt anything there is taught in a basic government school curriculum

Was closed for 8 months of renovation from October 2015.

Nice on Lulu, gonna check out all these family day trips you've been posting up recently next time we are over there.

Lulu in pole position for poster of the year!!

Took her to the Natural History Museum and Science Museum in London last year.

Cheaper than 50b as they were free, but to be honest, for a 4/5 yr old the interactive Thai planetarium was more fun. My scientific data and technical specifications of the actual Apollo 10 command module just went in one ear and out the other.





You'd like it there Pat.





"And this is the Locomotive 'Puffing Billy'. Driving wheel diameter 3 feet 3 inches; cylinders 9 inches x 36 inches; working pressure 50lb; weight approximately 8 tons, exclusive of tender. Puffing Billy is the world’s oldest surviving steam locomotive. Dating to 1813-1814, it was built by William Hedley, Jonathan Forster, and Timothy Hackworth, for use at the Wylam Colliery near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Built to replace the horses used on the tramway, Puffing Billy was one of three engines built by Hedley, the resident engineer at the colliery."


"It go choo-choo?"

Thai planetarium was more fun

Hard to fathom that one out

Last year the science and British museums considered charging tourists to cover maintenence costs.

Obviously it didn't or hasn't happened yet. I doubt it would go down well with the Thai tourists

Half of the British museum is a criminal evidence room for stolen goods

[Luigi]

Hard to fathom that one out

Yeah, sacrilege.

The mind of a 4/5 yr old seems to be more interested in rooms full of interactive physical activities, than a 200 yr old locomotive sitting there.

Though she did enjoy seeing the (pre-taught) Easter Island heads and Egyptian displays.



Personally, as a non-5 yr old, I'd take the NHM anyday.

Nuff said


Real shame the Railfan museum at JJ Park closed down. You could climb on the locos.
I think the private funding consortium gave up after low visitor numbers

You can still look through the windows at the engines. Unless its raining of course

There's a snowland in that shopping mall on Ekamai bts,for the nipper if you wanna stretch your day out.

I say snow, its mainly ice....you wouldn't wanna get hit in the face by a snowball in there.
