Oub Kham Museum

Really nice museum, with a wonderful collection of historical items from old Norther kingdom, Chinese kingdoms, Shan and Chin kingdoms. It’s a luxurious collection that shows well the past and the culture of different ethnic groups ! Totally worth the visit ! And we had an really nice lady as a guide from the museum. She did explain everything really well. We had such a nice time and at the end, they do serve you some green tea. 100% recommended !

Perhaps not as large or stately as any of the other museums we all know elsewhere in the world.. but this museum certainly offers a breathtaking view of the past... some artifacts dating back 3000 years, others 1250 years... and the costumes on display could even rival that of the Ziegfield follies. Expect to pay 300THB per adult..(this is a private museum and most of this goes to upkeep and maintenance) Not all artifacts may be photographed and your guide will advise when and where possible or permitted and several rooms are shoes off.. Once the formal tour is completed offer a tip as gratuity, it will be very well received. The tour ends with some green tea in the reception room. Worth the stop and if you are a devotee of the Buddhist faith, some halls also offer places of worship and relics to view.
On a lighter note, some rooms are simply claustrophobic with all the items displayed as you get a glimpse of how royalty from previous kingdoms could perhaps have lived.
Come and see!

The entrance is 300 baht but it’s definitely worth it. This is a guided tour full of history and the lady is really nice and explaining well. You’ll learn a lot about culture

For a personal collection this is especially fascinating. The (mandatory) tour was lovely and in very enthusiastic English. We have lived in Thailand some time and think we got the best understanding of Thai history from this one hour tour.

The tourguide was very engaging and kind. I was very interested in learning more about northern Thailand history, the kingdoms en Buddhism. I paid 300 baht including the tour and you get a green tea at the end.

It's got an interesting collection. Very packed, and lots to see... though the arrangement is a bit weird and reminds me a bit of Ripley museums but not as tacky. Very informative tour of about 5 chambers included in the 300 bhat fee. You will need about an hour an a half there, about 1 hour for the tour and 30min to stroll around outside and take some photos. This is to be included if you want something out of ordinary, and if you are spending a few days at Chiang Rai.
