The 5 Best History Museums in Phuket, Thailand
Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers and serious divers, who enthusiastically submerge themselves in the Andaman Sea. Blue lagoons and salmon sunsets make for a dream-like atmosphere, and indeed, a vacation here can feel a bit surreal. Watersports are the most popular activities, though once you’ve had enough sun there’s still plenty to explore at the island’s aquariums, gardens, and Buddhist temples.

At last...after nearly 5 years for the '3 month closure for refurbishment' the Thalang National Museum has reopened. The renovation is not yet complete but three sections of the museum are open and it is well worth the effort to visit. Phuket has a complex and fascinating history as does all of Thailand. The multi-layered cultural influences from Hinduism as well as Buddhism (and animalism) combine to make a very complex picture, often difficult to penetrate and comprehend. Well Done for reopening this museum and I look forward to the next 'areas' of it being re-opened. It would be great if the powers that be in the Phuket Tourist section could really advertise and promote this museum to bring it to the attention of visitors... there is so much to learn about Phuket and this museum plays an important part in helping to piece together an understanding of the Island. Thank You to the staff for being so kind and enthusiastic during our visit (21st Feb 2020). (Open Wednesdays-Sunday. Closed Monday and Tuesday). Good Luck! Paul Whittall.

For the price that I’m paying, this is a very nice collection of things from Phuket’s past. I think there were around close to 1000 pieces displayed here - so definitely worth a trip to those looking to walk into history. There’s a nice cafe here too, I sat there for hours.
