We took JM yesterday to the National Museum to have a look at the country’s history, arts, artifacts, architecture and archaelogical treasures. All three of us  can definitely remember things we saw during the visit, but Thai names of people, places and events are so difficult to keep in ones memory. The history of the country dates back to several thousands of years before Christ, it’s like going back in time but for my entire family, the visit was truly educational.

After our visit to the National Museum yesterday, we decided to drop by the Museum Shop to buy some souvenirs. There are books, jewelries, accessories, post cards, home decorations and lots of interesting items.  I collect post cards and these definitely caught my attention :

I bought two sets of these beautiful post cards, one set for my personal collection and the second one, to be sent back home.
