Jesada
Technik
Museum
is
the
biggest
vehicle
museum
in
Thailand
and
in
the
region.
There
are
hundreds
of
transport
vehicles
on
display,
including
cars,
trucks,
motorcycles,
tricycles,
bicycles,
buses
as
well
as
planes,
a
helicopter,
trains,
farm
and
construction
equipment
—
all
part
of
the
private
collections
of
Khun
Jesada
Dejsakulri,
a
long-time
automobile
enthusiast.
Khun
Jesada’s
first
acquisition
included
the
Messerschmitt
KR200,
a
German
Microcar
purchased
through
an
auction
in
Switzerland
in
1997.
A
decade
later,
the
collection
increased
very
fast
to
about
500
vehicles,
which
promoted
Khun
Jesada
to
establish
a
museum
for
the
purposes
of
maintaining
public
interest
and
preserving
the
history
and
heritage
of
vehicles
and
machines.
In
January
2007,
Jesada
Technik
Museum
opened
its
doors
to
the
public.
(Incidentally,
the
“K”
in
the
word
“Technik”
is
inspired
from
Technik
Museum
Speyer,
a
famous
transport
museum
in
Germany.)
There
is
no
admission
fee.
Visitors
are
free
to
wander
around
at
their
leisure
and
enjoy
vintage,
newer
and
rarely
seen
vehicles.
Vehicles
are
in
various
states
of
repair
or
restoration.
The
collection
focuses
on
European
brands,
but
also
has
a
few
specimens
from
the
U.S.
Families
that
enjoy
mechanical
contraptions
will
appreciate
the
exhibits
and
could
spend
well
over
an
hour
here;
others
with
no
interest
in
vehicles
may
find
it
boring
after
a
short
time.
The
museum
is
outside
of
Bangkok
in
Nakhon
Pathom
province,
about
a
80
to
90
minutes
drive
from
the
city
centre.
