Great experience - Got great history lesson of the area and learned about the people that shaped the Patong area. You also learn a bit more about the development of the sex industry which was unique. Easy and interesting tour with narration and visuals as aids. Highly recommend if your in the area.

Must See Museum - The wealth of knowledge provided is insurmountable. Even as an American, I learned American history I was never aware of. If you are in Bangkok you need to stop by and tour this museum.

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.

Terrible, doesnt exist - 0. Either the place doesnt exist or has closed but I paid money to someone or something and when I called to see how to get there It sounded like someone on a motorcycle and they couldnt understand me . So I just forfeited the 10 bucks

Bad tour & poorly curated museum for an interesting area - This was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend it. We had an American tour guide called Randy. The way Randy told the history of Patpong was predominantly just about the Americans who had visited (Jim Thompson, CIA soldiers and American military, multinational companies, and David Bowie). The curating also reflected this focus. The tour was about 1 hour or 1.5 hours long and we had no choice but to take it. When we wandered off (bored) Randy snapped and wouldn’t let us look at the exhibition alone. Randy made some very strange comments in support of US military war criminals in Laos. The tour ended with a very transphobic display, which forces visitors to guess the genitals of Thai women. When we refused to play the game, Randy got very defensive. The perspectives of sex workers was also absent. This could be such an incredible museum of an area with rich history but Randy felt like an inappropriate guide and teller of these stories. The curating felt very disconnected from the Thai people who live and work in this area.
