Thailand: Heritage Halt

Although grieving for the death of their beloved king, Thailand isn’t being unwelcoming to visitors. In fact, very recently, the Thai Fine Arts Department waived the entry fees to all historical parks and national museums in the nation for both locals and visitors, all the way up till February. There’s little partying during the year-long mourning, but heritage and historical sites such as the Bangkok National Museum, Royal Elephant National Museum and National Museum of Royal Barges, among other places, are wide open.
