Fascinating Small Museum

This is a fascinating small museum. To get the key go to the reception at the Paradon Hotel. Manly through boards and photographs it tells the story of the Free Thai movement during WW2 and their resistance to the Japanese. The story is told that when the Thai government agreed to let the Japanese occupy their country they would declare war on Britain and USA. The war declaration was delivered to the British but the Thai ambassador in Washington refused to deliver it so the US and Thailand were never at war. At the end of the war

    Interesting for Americans or perhaps Brits.
    There were a few displays of WW2 relics, but most of it was photos with historical information. My husband and I found it very interesting because we are Americans and much of it spoke of US involvement and our former presidents. I would recommend this for history lovers (like us).
