Chaiya National Museum

Reviewed By Suratrichard - Surat Thani, Thailand

We had been to this museum before several years ago and didn't hesitate to visit a second time when the opportunity arose. It's not open every day of the week so it's worth checking before you visit. I think it's closed Sunday and Monday. It's situated just across the road from the Wat Phra Boromathat so it makes for a worthwhile combined visit. Entrance for foreigners is 100baht ( 20baht for Thais). This dual pricing is fairly standard in Thailand. Approximately an hour would be sufficient time to have a good look at the many exhibits which illustrate the history of Chaiya and the surrounding area. There are some explanations in English and there was clearly some work being undertaken within the museum as some display areas were vacant but don't let that put you off visiting. It's worth remembering that this isn't a European museum full of interactive displays with the emphasis on keeping children occupied but again don't let that put you off visiting. Thais are very proud of their museums and rightly so. There are toilets nearby and on the road between the temple and museum are food and drink stalls with ample car parking. Well worth visiting.
