For a holiday that combines knowledge and enjoyment, the "Chiang Mai National Museum" is a destination that Sookjai Weekend would like to recommend you to experience the Lanna-style architecture that stands out with its high roof near Wat Chet Yot. This place is a treasure trove that tells the story of the North from prehistoric times to the golden age of the Lanna Kingdom in the most complete way.
Stepping inside, you will be amazed by the exhibition that is divided into zones in a systematic way. An important highlight that art tourists must be amazed by is the large "bronze Buddha head" with beautiful Buddhist characteristics in the style of Lanna Chiang Saen art, which reflects the prosperity of Buddhism in the past. There are also rare antiques such as sandstone-carved Buddha footprint replicas, Sukhothai ceramics, and utensils in the royal court of the northern princes that show the exquisite way of life.
Not only about history, but here is also an exhibition about ethnology, telling the way of life of the hill tribes and various ethnic groups in Lanna, allowing us to understand the cultural diversity that has shaped Chiang Mai today. The atmosphere inside the building is quiet, the air conditioning is cool, and there is lighting that helps enhance the beauty of the antiques to look more serious and charming.
Visiting information: The museum is open Wednesday - Sunday (closed Monday-Tuesday and public holidays) from 09.00 - 16.00 hrs. Admission fee for Thais is only 20 baht.
On this holiday, if you want to change the atmosphere from going to a cafe to walking around and enjoying art and receiving energy from the roots of your ancestors, visiting the Chiang Mai National Museum will help you see Chiang Mai in a deeper and more meaningful way.
