Thailand Travel|Chiang Mai National Museum-a hidden treasure attraction outside the ancient city

Chiang Mai National Museum Opened in 1973, the building was renovated and expanded in 1996 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of King Bhumibol's accession to the throne and the 700th anniversary of the founding of Chiang Mai. There are two floors inside. The main exhibits are Buddhist statues, wooden candlesticks, pagodas and other handicrafts and daily utensils from the Lanna Kingdom from the 15th to 19th centuries. To be honest, both the quantity and the portion are incomparable to the Bangkok National Museum. The more famous ones include: the 1581 stone tablet discovered in Chiang Man Temple, which describes the founding of Chiang Mai; the 180-centimeter-high bronze Buddha head from the 15th century; the royal costumes, wooden thrones, and sedan chairs from the 18th century ; The most beautiful exhibit is a two-meter-high wooden Buddha footprint and so on. 📷Visiting tips: You can take pictures inside the museum, but you must not touch it. This is a taboo for Thai people. It is far away from some famous tourist gathering places such as the ancient city of Chiang Mai and Chiang Mai University. If you are not interested in the museum and make a special trip, there are basically no tourists here. It is very quiet and you can watch the exhibitions with peace of mind, enjoy the air-conditioning indoors, and take a rest. very nice. 🎫Ticket: 100 baht (about 20 yuan) 🕰️Open: 09:00-16:00 (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) 🏛️Address: Chang Phueak, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300 (about 5 kilometers away from the ancient city)
