The Ancient – Muang Boran Museum
The Ancient City is an open-air museum just outside Bangkok in Samut Prakan. It’s not very far from the city, but it feels completely different—spacious, peaceful, and filled with impressive replicas of Thailand’s most important temples, monuments, and architectural landmarks.

Kathu Museum
What used to be a very rundown house by the side of the road in Kathu is now transformed into a small and half-abandoned lovely museum about Phuket Food. It used to be part of the large beer storage warehouse. It’s beautiful from the outside, but there is not much to see inside, and the staircase leading to the second floor is often closed.

The Thai Hua Museum on Krabi Road in Phuket Town is a pleasant surprise. We visited it a few years ago when it reopened, and despite being in a beautiful mansion, it was just an empty building.
