If you are looking for a tourist destination that combines pride in Thai craftsmanship and valuable history, the "Arts of the Kingdom Museum" in Ko Koet Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, is a destination not to be missed. This museum is not just a place to display antiques, but a "living classroom" that collects masterpieces of fine arts from the Sirikit Institute, created by the hands of poor farmers' descendants from all over the country.
Inside the museum, you will be amazed by the exquisite art that is hard to find, such as silver and gold niello, wood carving, and decoration with iridescent green beetle wings that sparkle like gems. Every piece of work reflects the far-sighted vision of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, who revived the nearly lost Thai wisdom to life again.
A highlight not to be missed is the grandeur of the Busabok and large wood carvings that require a large number of skilled craftsmen and years of creation. Amidst a modern and powerful exhibition atmosphere, we realize that the potential of Thai people is limitless if given the opportunity and appropriate promotion.
