If you're into weird, this is it. Located in the grounds of the like weird and macabre - this is it. Preserved corpses of convicted killers like Thailand's most famous mass murderer See-Uey, the Chinese cannibal. Also exhibited are murder weapons, a gut-wrenching exhibition of autopsy photos and glass jars in containg stillborn children pickled in formaldehyde. Close to museums of anatomy, parasitology, medical history, and anthropology. The Museum of Anatomy next door, in an old 1930's building contains a very close up and personal look at the human body. Visited by medical students it's fascinating in a weird kind of way.
Location: 2nd floor, Adulaydejvigrom Building, behind Siriraj Hospital, Phrannok Road.

Not for the faint hearted. The prison that once housed author Warren Fellows "The Damage Done" has just a few watch towers and a few cells, but the museum's tableaux of past prision activities and execution methods is a pretty grisly experience. Whatever floats your boat.
Location: Banglamphu - Romanee Lert Park
Ten minutes from Golden Mount
Mon-Fri - 8:30am - 4:00pm
