BANGKOK — Museums about snakes, rubber and Chinese sarongs have been added to an all-access pass to 63 museums on sale now for 299 baht.

For the sixth year, the Muse Pass is being sold to the public to encourage visits to Thailand’s cultural institutions. This year’s incarnation includes several additions including specialty museums and more sites outside of the capital including the Siam Serpentarium, Rubberland Pattaya and Peranakan Phuket Museum.

The pass, on sale now through September, is good for one year after date of purchase. The Muse Pass includes discounts for some souvenirs and snacks.

It’s a steal, as a single adult museum entry can cost over 100 baht, and more at museums with dual pricing for foreigners. What do foreigners pay for the 299 baht pass? Answer: 299 baht.
