National Science Museum (NSM), Pathumthani province
The Science Museum is located in Pathum Thani, north of Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. It is the first museum to be opened under the management of the National Science Museum organisation (NSM), and aims to involve individuals in the excitement of science, ultimately to increase the public understanding of science and technology. Through the use of interactive exhibits and everyday examples, visitors can see the links between science and technology that are present in nearly every aspect of our lives. By looking at examples close to home, science becomes more familiar and exciting.
