It is still worth seeing; as is Vimanmek billed as ‘ The Worlds Largest Teakwood Mansion’; the most tightly controlled place I have seen so far for photographs. One must actually lock up their camera in a locker and submit to a ‘pat- down’ and airport type screening before being allowed to enter. The lady who did my ‘pat-down’ was rather cute so I did not mind too much.

Good tip. Hide lots of stuff in your pants when the security guard is a cuite.
Thanks.

Suan Pakkard is another place where photography is no longer allowed.  Fortunately, on a visit years ago, I got a few good interior shots.

The MRT Stations are another place where phototaking is expressively prohibited for 'security reasons'

Just to clarify, I am not aware of any ban on taking photos at the train station.  There is a ban at the subway stations, but not at the Skytrain stations.

I believe it is not permitted on the skytrain either without a permit. But if just a happy snappy camera and you look like a tourist mostly they won't bother you. The state railway trains and stations though should not be a problem to shoot at all

Do you know how to go about getting the permit Marc?

At sky trains stations, among the many signs not to eat or drink or do a number of other things, I have never seen a no photography sign...and I have looked...often.  And I have taken photos in full sight of the security guys with no intervention.  Are you sure it's not allowed?

No problems at all. Prohibited...
