Very nice museum showing about the history of Thailand and Phitsanulok. All information are given in English and Thai language. We lived it. Its very nicely presented and looked after. At the end we enjoyed a delicious Thai tea. The staff is very friendly. Visiting time was 2 hours. Entrance 100 Baht.

Charming museum. Loads of interesting things and good English descriptions of everything. I particularly liked the traditional farming section and animal traps accompanied by excellent diagrams. Very friendly staff too. I totally recommend this museum, it's well worth 100bht and you can check out the bronze Buddha foundry across the road for free.

Very nice museum and refreshing to change things after visiting multiple temples. Also be sure to visit the factory (same street) where they make Buddha statues (was from the same owner).

An interesting insight into Thai culture, and a nice escape from the heat and the noise of the street. 30-60 minutes will do.

All objects have a terrific background and history. Wish Thai to visit more, it is one of S.E.A. history, socio-culture hub. And if you have a chance, please try to talk with the founder and his son. Great respect to them. Folk that bring us back to the root, and mostly the ordinary people stories, it is touching.

Don’t bother. Just another place charging foreigners double the Thai fee. No reasoning and no excuses. Basically just like any normal Thai house 30 years ago. Definitely not worth it. Save your money and go somewhere nicer.

I am in love with place!!! I am glad that we made a move to visit to this museum. We took a metered taxi service to get there, from Topland Hotel, it costs us 66baht fares. (You can take Grab too) Beautiful ancient collection, bring back a lot of nostalgia memories (for me). We bought the ticket for 50baht (each) and it worthy! Wonderful place to experience Thai ancient tools & equipment, history, art & crafts and many more. There is a mini mart in the museum, where you can get some cold beverages to refresh yourself! I would love to come back again when I back to Phitsanulok.
