While Halloween may be over and November has begun, the Bangkok Forensic Pathology Museum, often dubbed “The Death Museum”, still offers a bit of a haunted house with its fair share of terrors.
The museum, located inside Siriraj Hospital in Thailand’s capital, is the most (subjectively) interesting of a handful of medical museums located in the same building.
Let’s be clear, the museum is not for the faint of heart and is a touch gruesome in addition to awe inspiring, given it’s subject matter.
The museum greets you with the history of pathology in Thailand, almost like an introduction to CSI: Bangkok. This series of tame exhibits essentially welcomes you before others send the thin-skinned running for the door.
In the next wing, you are thrust right into with an exhibit that largely features preserved pre-natal cadavers. While it could be argued this is unnecessarily morbid, the study of these cadavers helped a good number of budding forensic pathologists.
Additional wings of the museum focus on head traumas, heart malfunctions and there is a room that pays special tribute to those that perished in the tsunami of 2004 which devastated Thailand and other Asian countries.
Lastly, as you leave you can peer in on the remains of Thailand’s most notorious serial killer, Si Quey, a cannibal who feasted on children in the 1950s. While Thailand largely doesn’t practice the death penalty, they made a special exception for this monster.

During a recent trip to Portugal, we stopped in Nazaré, a coastal town outside of Lisbon known for surfing and giant waves. Despite only visiting for a day, we knew we couldn’t stop without learning to surf. After a fueling lunch at AZULL Rooftop by the Sea, we headed down to the beach to meet our instructors at Nazaré Surf School, founded in 2012. It’s the first and only school with a location right on iconic Nazaré beach.
