    World-Class, Of Interest to Academic-Types and Shopping for Pearls and Rare Fossils. This collection is incredible, undoubtedly the best open to the public dealing with Indian Ocean shells. There is a self-guided tour with descriptions in Thai and English of each family of shells. I found many interesting stories, for instance that the Greek mythological golden fleece was likely from the material a large Mediterranean clam uses to bind itself to rocks. The shells are beautiful, too, so if you are with kids or have a casual interest, you could spend half an hour. Or you could spend 90 minutes as I did. The gift shop is not to be overlooked. It's huge and has a selection of top notch inexpensively priced pearls ($100-200) as well as hard to find large fossil specimens such as ammonites ($250). There are also many less expensive pieces and loose shells kids would love starting as low as 15 baht.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice collection of shells and fossils, nicely constructed. Admission costs 200 Bath. Afterwards there is another store where you can buy everything, but beware that you can take it along with customs. (Original) Hele mooie verzameling schelpen en fossielen, leuk opgebouwd. Entree kost 200 Bath. Achteraf is er nog een winkel waar je alles kan kopen, maar pas op dat je het wel mee mag nemen langs de douane.

    (Translated by Google) Generally, I do not like museums. But in this drove and did not regret. See real things that are 5 million (!) Years old, this is priceless. And punishing Patong Seapsoy bought in FamilyMart for the same money is not priceless. The museum is modern, everything is highlighted, clean, I liked it. Shop upstairs a little strained, commerce, and everything is cool. The sea is the secret and the past of any creature. Ohm (Original) Вообще, я не люблю музеи. Но в этот заехал и не пожалел. Посмотреть реальные штуки, которым по 5 миллионов (!) лет, это же бесценно. А надраться на Патонге СэпСоя купленного в ФамилиМарте за те же деньги, - не бесценно. Музей современный, всё подсвечено, чистота, мне понравилось. Магазин наверху немного напряг, коммерция, а так всё классно. Море это тайна и прошлое любого существа. Ом.

    (Translated by Google) Were at the fair, located on the square in front of the museum. For 4 years I have never entered it. I think that 200 baht is expensive for such a museum ... (Original) Были на ярмарке, расположенной на площади перед музеем. За 4 года ни разу не зашёл в него. Считаю, что 200 бат дорого для такого музея...

  • 4/5 Supreecha K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is the largest collection of shells. There are many kinds of rare shells from many countries. Some prices are millions. Very beautiful. There are shells from fossils that are very rare. Some shells are very small but beautiful. Some people take other shells to dress themselves. Very strange. There are both round, spike, goodies, good value, even if it costs a little entrance fee. (Original) เป็นที่รวบรวมเปลือกหอยใว้มากที่สุดมีหอยหายากชนิดต่างๆมากมายมาจากหลายประเทศบางตัวราคาเป็นล้าน สวยงามมากมีหอยจากฟอสซิลที่หายากมากๆหอยบางตัวเล็กมากแต่สวยงามบางตัวเอาหอยตัวอื่นมาแต่งตัวให้ตัวเองแปลกมากๆ มีทั้งแบบกลมแบบแหลมสารพัดคุ้มค่าถึงแม้จะเสียค่าเข้าเพียงเล็กน้อย

    This is a very interesting place to explore if you're interested in sea shells. At the moment it's closed due to covid. Free entry and is good fun for the whole family. Gift shop available. Every sea shell imaginable. Enjoy an hour out of the heat in this air-conditioned establishment.

    An amazing number of shells from all over the world which opens your eyes to the sheer variety of species and sizes in our world of these Ancient creatures.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful of course, but the price is too high, the museum is very small, so the entry price of 200 baht is unreasonably expensive. (Original) Красиво конечно, но цена завышена, музей очень маленький, поэтому цена за вход 200 бат необоснованно дорого.
