I went alone. So kind of spooky after a while. But good Thailand history. And more than enough crime documented. Right down to pictures of the deceased, and the murder weapon. Interesting, but not for everyone.

A definite stop for those that have any interest in this amazing place. I thoroughly enjoyed my time from start to finish.

I’ve added some pictures of the exhibit that...
