Dragon Museum, Chinese heritage museum in Rua Yai, Thailand.
The Dragon Museum is a museum in Rua Yai, Thailand, dedicated to Chinese history and culture. It features three main exhibition areas with interactive displays using light, sound, models, and educational films to explore historical themes.
The museum was founded in 1996 to honor the long relationship between Thailand and China. Its creation was part of a broader effort to preserve the history of this connection for future generations.
The museum presents the connections between Chinese and Thai communities through everyday objects and displays showing how they lived together. You can observe how Chinese immigrants and their descendants shaped trade and business in Thailand.
The museum is located about one hour from central Bangkok and is reachable by car or bus. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore all three exhibition areas at a relaxed pace.
The building itself is shaped like a large dragon made of fiberglass, making it instantly recognizable. At the entrance, a dragon fountain with flowing water greets visitors and reinforces the impressive design of the place.
