Here today...gone to Geological Museum

Today is Buddhist holiday.So I've no class and decided to go out with my friend.Actually with my friend's family!
Anyway,we think that it's a good idea going to Bangkok during the holiday because we know well that on the long holiday like this most of people are going out from Bangkok and this is mean there won't be a traffic jam in Bangkok for sure.My friend had come up with the idea on going to the Geological museum to study and see illustrate the evolution of the earth, fossils, rocks and minerals, earthquakes and underground water. It located at MoraKot Building,Bureau of Fossil Research and Geological Museum Department of Mineral Resources on Rama VI Road,Ratchathewi District,Bangkok.There are several ways to get there.You could take a buses No.8,44,67,92 and 97,By air-conditioned buses No.44,157,509 and 538.and the nearest sky train stations is Phayathai and Victory Monument.But for me I went there by car.The museum open daily at 08.30 a.m.-04.30 pm. except public holiday and it's free ,no chart.










In front of museum there was a big dinosaur and the enter door was so cool.The floor was decorated with dinosaur footprint.Going in the museum like following the dinosaur step.In the museum there were about 8 zones.First zone is about Geology! This zone tell us about how the universe,how the formation of the earth.The second zoneis Mineral resources,in this zone you'll be able to see and touch the real different king of mineral.There are all very beautiful.Fourth zone is about Rocks and groundwater.Fifth zone is about Petroleum.Sixth zone is about evolution of life,this zone is pretty amazing because the museum shows us the fossils of Thai dinosaurs in variety of species from over than hundred million years ago.Geology of Thailand is displayed in the seventh zone.The last zone is about Geohazards.It shows us the geological disasters, what make it occur and how to prepare and be survive from those disaster.At the end of each zone ,there was computer game asking the question about each zone.If you want to test your knowledge and having some fun you could play it.Like me and my friend did!So,here is pretty much all about it!I hope you like it and please visit this museum someday if you could :)
