via Bangkok Post, 1 February 2024: The National Museum Bangkok has crafted a unique night tour experience, “Unravelling Mythical Creatures,” inviting enthusiasts to explore the rich tapestry of Thai and Buddhist mythology through an engaging itinerary. The tour offers a blend of art, history, and spirituality, providing insights into mythical creatures and their representation in Thai fine arts and architecture.
To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, the National Museum Bangkok created number of night tours at the end of December. Those who were unable to attend previously can utilise a similar itinerary to create their own mission. There are three routes, which focus on fine arts and mythical creatures like a naga, dragon, makorn and hera.
Winding around the Front Palace’s historic grounds, visitors can open a map and put themselves in Prof Robert Langdon’s quest to decipher the iconic symbols of the dragon zodiac, which represent Buddhist beliefs and Thai culture.
