What To Expect
A fun and interactive exhibition of 100 years Asian history through the perspective of Patpong road. You learn about Thailand's industrialization, the Vietnam War and how the CIA got involved, David Bowie, Robert de Niro and other Superstars and what all of that has to do with Patpong. A refreshment in an authentic Patpong bar is part of the tour, before you get to see the +18 rated nightlife part including a preview into a ping pong show. The tour is couple friendly and yet a bit naughty.

Impressive museum (Unexpectedly nice experience)

Impressive! Nice and friendly staffs :) I have really great experience there.
I’ve been there twice. First time tour guide gave us a lot of informations it spent 1.5-2 hours. And the second time I went there again just for discussed one depth in Thai girl perspective (So we spent time there 4 hours in total)
As a Thai girl, this museum is so different from museum I ever been in Thailand.
I love the way this museum narrates us from historical sex workers into hidden story of US army in Thailand to modern day sex workers. All of things related and connected dot to dot.
This museum has a lot of foreigners (more than Thais) from twice visit and i think it is underrated.
One of the most impressive thing is this museum provided COVID vaccine in pandemic for people in this neighborhood and helped this community in many ways. Really appreciated.

Really cool and cultural museum

The museum contains the history of bangkok that never been introduced, plus the great stories of Patpong Silom area now and then. Love the miniature street they created. My guide Khun August is awesome, he explained everything vividly. And there’s a cool bar inside the museum.
It’s really a must visit spot in Silom.

Back in the day our laconic American host was in the centre of the action. He gave us an authentic and detailed history of Patpong - from farmland to go-go bars largely thanks to the CIA, who under the guise of a travel agency, covertly ran SE Asian US operations from there.
Great stories and imaginative exhibits, including a lovely diorama of the two streets, catch the ping pong (it’s all in the wrist action) and guess the celebrities who’d been there.

We had a great tour of the hidden side of the city and a community. Our guide was friendly and very informative.
Not the history you were expecting

An astonishing history, well told. Not the story you expected by any means, rather it is mired in family intrigue, war, and celebrity.
Interesting Museum, Please Polish the Guided Tour

This is an interesting museum about the history of Patpong, with plenty of interesting exhibits, and surprises in the story. There are also lots of instagrammable shots that you can take. The bartenders (two Austrians) were friendly and chatted with us. The guided tour was also interesting, but could be improved though. During the start of the tour that we had, we found ourselves standing in front of an old map of bangkok for about 20 minutes while the guide went on and on without a pause. I was wondering whether we had an option to explore on our own as the exhibits had captions (which could be in larger font). Nonetheless, if you have a keen interest in history, this is certainly highly recommended and do drop by if you are heading to the Sala Daeng / Chong Nonsi BTS area. Tip: if you are with family, head there during daylight hours, you can also have lunch at Took Lae Dee nearby.
Here are my suggestions for improvement regarding the guided tour. First, ask the visitors clearly, would you like the tour or would you like to explore on your own? Second, because of attention span, keep the guided tour to 45 minutes maximum and move on to a different exhibit every 2-3 minutes or so to sustain interest.
