Time Out says

This is not a natural history museum with a snake cabinet in the corner. Siam Serpentarium in Lat Krabang bills itself as Asia's only immersive snake museum, and the claim holds up. There are more than 70 live species in habitat-style enclosures, a walk-through giant snake mouth, multimedia installations tracing a snake's life cycle and enough taxonomic detail to satisfy someone who already knows their pit vipers from their pythons.
The live collection is the main draw: king cobras, reticulated pythons, rare pit vipers and plenty more. But the museum side is more substantial than the format suggests, covering Thai snake-charming traditions, the role of venom in traditional medicine and the ecology of species that share Bangkok's klongs whether residents know it or not.


Siam Serpentarium, Lat Krabang. Airport Rail Link to Lat Krabang Station, Exit 2. Open Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm; Saturday-Sunday, 10am-6pm. Entry is around B350 for adults, B150 for children.
