Khun Yuam WW2 Japanese War Museum

The museum exhibits Japanese military artifacts, including rifles, coats, personal items, old jeeps, and vehicles from World War II operations in Southeast Asia.

The institution opened in 1996 after local police superintendent Chiedchai Chomthawat discovered numerous Japanese military items preserved in local households since World War II.

The museum displays documents, photographs, and videos that illustrate the connections between Thai residents and Japanese soldiers during their station in northern Thailand.

Visitors can explore two buildings, including the Thailand-Japan Friendship Memorial added in 2012, with admission fees of 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children.

The museum contains an original Imperial rescript declaring war against the United States and England, along with a poem by Thai literature scholar Yujiro Iwaki.
