This is definitely the place for those wishing
to learn more about the Thai lifestyle. Step inside a group of Thai
pavilions and explore a private collection of antique items
representing Thai rural life. They include indigenous arts, pottery,
farming and trapping equipment and household items. Old photographs
revealing Phitsanulok's good old days are also on display.
The museum was established by Sgt. Maj. Dr.
Thavi Buranakhate, who is recognized as a leader in the area of
sculpture and indigenous art preservation. He is renowned for his
knowledge on Northern Thai folklore. In addition, he is the owner of a
Buddha Casting Foundry located just opposite the museum.
The Folklore Museum received the Excellence in
Tourism Award from the Tourism Authority of Thailand in 1998 and is
located on Wisutkasat Road (Sanam Bin Road), approximately 5 kilometers
from the town center.
The folklore museum is open daily, except
for Monday, from 8.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. Admission is 100 baht.
