Nakhon Si Thammarat National Museum, National museum in Nai Mueang, Thailand.
The Nakhon Si Thammarat National Museum is a history museum in Nai Mueang that displays archaeological finds, religious objects, and handcrafted tools. The collections span several galleries and show how the southern region of Thailand developed over a long period of time.
The museum was founded in 1974 on the grounds of a former temple and preserves objects that are thousands of years old. The earliest artifacts date from a time when people in this area had not yet developed writing.
The collection features Buddhist statues in the Singha style and Ming Dynasty ceramics that reveal how this region connected with distant places through maritime trade. These objects show the kinds of goods and artistic traditions that flowed through southern Thailand over centuries.
The museum is located on Rachadamnoen Road and is easy to reach by foot or taxi. Most labels are available in English, helping visitors understand the objects and their meanings.
At the center of the museum stands a statue of the god Vishnu from the 9th century that was discovered beneath a tree in a remote district. This figure shows that Buddhist and Hindu traditions coexisted here.
