Information as of November 2010

The Thai Human Imagery Museum is a very good starting point to gain insight in Thai History and Culture.

The Thai Human Imagery Museum is located at 43/2 Moo 1, Tamboon Khun-Khaew, Pinklao - Nakhon Chaisri Road (km. 31), Nakhon Chaisri, Nakhon Prathom Provice 73120. Phone 034-332607, 034-332061 and 034-332109

The Museum is opened daily. Monday - Friday from 09:00 till 17:30 and Saturday/Sunday from 08:00 till 18:00.

The Museum opened on June, 14th in 1989. The Artist Duangkaew Pitayakornsilp and his Team did not only develop a new technique to produce figures which look extraordinary real, they also do so since more than ten years and therefore the Museum has over 100 characters from Thai History towards present. As every hair is separately assembled, it is understandable, that the Manufacturing of one character takes up to two years. Over the years, the Museum gained more and more attention among the audience - a true "Bijoux" as we think !
