That's awesome you experienced Bangkok's Hell! It's not exactly your average tourist spot, is it? I've heard whispers about the museum's origins being shrouded in some mystery – some say it was a private commission by a wealthy art patron with a… unique vision, others think it's connected to some kind of Buddhist philosophical statement about suffering and rebirth. Sadly, solid information seems scarce online. I'd suggest digging into some Thai art history sites and forums – you might find some clues there, even if they're in Thai. Good luck with your research! It sounds like a fascinating rabbit hole.

Nope, access to the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is strictly for hotel guests only. Those pricey day passes are unfortunately not scams, they're just... exorbitant. Your best bet is to just book a room, even if it's just for a night. Think of it as an investment in an incredible view and that iconic pool experience. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

Ouch, that's a bummer. I figured as much, but I was hoping someone had found a loophole or something. A night's stay is definitely a hefty price tag just for the pool, though. Maybe I'll just admire it from afar then... Thanks for the info!
