Beautiful building and garden in the Center of the old City. Interesting for culture lovers. Beautiful cafe in the garden serves excellent local Coffee.

"Khum Chao Burirat, constructed during the reign of King Rama V, was originally a residence for Chao Burirat (Maha-In), a grandson of Chao Luang Khamfan (the third ruler of Chiang Mai). The building was later inherited to Chao Noi Chomchuen Na Chiang Mai, a son of Chao Burirat, from 1894 to 1946 before Chao Butsaba Na Chiang Mai, a wife of Chao Noi Chomchuen, selling it toMrs. Buaphan Nikonphan (Thipmonthon) in 1947. The house became an inheritance of Thipmonthon family until Riangphan Thipmonthon and Kitibut family gave this building to Chiang Mai University on 9th March 2001 to serve as the office of Lanna Architecture Center under the control of Faculty of Architecture, Chiang Mai University. Combining Western and Traditional Lanna architectures, Khum Chao Burirat is a 2-storey building whose ground floor was built of thick cemented bricks in arch form and surrounded by passageways. The upper floor features teak floors as well as wooden walls, doors and windows. Balconies encircle the upper floor in which railings, balustrades and balusters are wooden openwork. Hip and gable roofs made of terracotta tiles cover the balconies all through. Khum Chao Burirat represents a determination to preserve the significant historical heritage by adapting the building’s functional areas for researching, compiling and exhibiting information to serve as a knowledge hub for students, researchers and general public interested in Lanna architecture."

Accidentally discovered this place on the way to Wat Phan Tao, very nice and well preserved old house, not big but interesting architecture. Have some cool architecture models, a nice place to beat the heat after all day walking outside. They have a small cafe on the front yard too.

Nice place to visit and learn about Lanna culture in the old days

Small but lovely exhibition center, with some delicate models of signature Lanna architecture.Have to taken off shoes inside, total enduring time would be about 1 hour including the gift shop. There is a nice cafe beside, large glass widows surrounded. Just chill after the architecture class with cozy environment with the garden.

Colonial building with free entry. The Souvenir shop has beautiful selection of locally handcrafted items.

Horrible staffs! I’ve come to Thailand for several times in 5 different cities, this place definitely brought me worst experience. If you don’t allow taking pictures, put up a sign! Yesterday we came here and saw people taking pictures, so we came back today planning to take pictures as well, we ordered food and drink and spent money, then the staffs there told us pictures are not allowed, even worse is they told us to go away. I’m your consumer!!! I’ve never been treated like this in any place else, make me still feel disgusting. If you want to be treated as a person and with respect, I would highly discourage you from coming here.

(Translated by Google) It's 120 Baht per person, narrow and not much to see. The staff can't explain anything, and if you're not very interested in architecture, it's a good idea. (Original) 1인당 120밧에 좁고 별로 볼 것도 없다. 직원이 설명을 해주는 것도 없고 건축에 대단히 관심있는 사람이 아니면 비추이다.

(Translated by Google) The place is very good. (Original) สถานที่ดีมากๆค่ะ

(Translated by Google) This place is worth the burirat in the past. Or the address of the northern prince Which is in the center of Chiang Mai city Now is the Lanna architecture center.

(Translated by Google) Khum Klang Wiang, formerly owned by Chao Buri Rat Maha In, grandson of Chao Luang Kham Fhan (The third ruler of Chiang Mai) assumed that it should be built during the year 1889-1836. Later, Chao Noi Chomchuen, Chiang Mai, the son of Chao Buri Rat Maha-In, inherited and occupied the building during the year. 2437-2489 Mrs. Buaphun Nikornphan (Thipphawan County) has bought from Chao Busaba Na Chiang Mai (Chao Noi Chomchuen, Chiang Mai) and is a legacy to the present cousin, Khun Riangphan Thippayon (Bussan Nang Bua Phan and Aun Young).

Beautiful and peaceful place. There's a really cute cafe where we had breakfast with italian moka coffee and delicious cakes. The girl in the cafe is really nice. Love It!

A well-preserved 100+ years old house under the management of the Faculty of Architecture Chiang Mai University. The ground floor was for free and the second floor had ticketing (120฿ per person). The staff explained the history of the house briefly along with a video, then led us around the house to see different parts of it. Interesting and delicate house models were displayed around as well. A small coffee shop was at the corner of the outdoor garden but it isn’t part of the old house. Visiting time: 30 minutes

If you’re interested in Lanna/Northern Thailand architecture, this is the place to visit! There are exhibits on the structure downstairs (it’s a combo of Colonial and Lanna), and currently, there’s an excellent exhibit on Young Asian Architects as well. Run by the Architecture Dept. at the University of Chiang Mai, I had a great chat with a third year architecture student as well. The students working there are happy to answer questions if you ask! Definitely worth 30-60 minutes for a visit.

Very interessting to see what happend long time before in buildings here.

Nice architecture museum in central Chiang mai. They hold events on weekends occasionally and it is a great place to bring your kids.

Very boring. 2nd floor closed for renovations.

(Translated by Google) I was interested in architecture, so I went. There are many models and drawings, so it's easy to browse around. Above all, it is quiet in the middle of a noisy sunde market. So the cafe is also good. (Original) 건축 전공이라 관심있어서 갔어요. 모형과 도면 사진등이 많아 쉽게 둘러보기 좋아요. 무엇보다 시끄러운 선데마켓 한 가운데서도 조용함. 그래서 까페도 좋음.

I was looking forward to this place the most during the ongoing 3-day visit in Chiang Mai, and I wasn't disappointed! Being a Thai citizen and having a student card, I only paid 10 THB to join a guided tour in English with the other visitors. As for the reason why I looked forward to this place so much, it was because I've been reading a series of 3 historical novel called เวียงแว่นฟ้า, หนึ่งฟ้าดินเดียว, and ขุนหอคำ. If you're a Thai and love history, you'll love these 3 books :)

(Translated by Google) The building is very good, it is worth savoring (Original) 建筑很好 值得细细品味

Nice historical house. Nice Architecture. Good place for learning lanna architecture. Operated by faculty of architecture Chiengmai university. Nice exhibition. Nice and kindly staff.

historical place and good service

Amazing night light event! 3rd July 2022

Nice small museum with exhibition of Lanna architecture and craftsmanship.

Found this stall in front of Top Supermarkert. Not ecpecting​ them to made such a delicious​ Xio Rong Bao. I had try out the original Xiao Rong Bao at Shanghai old temple. It was super good during late 70 to 80s. Due to their popular​with great volume demand daily. It was not as good as before now a day. However this stall in Chiang Rai turn out to be very good. The flour skin is thin and semi transparent. Very juicy, it exploded in mouth. I had to vote that this is the best Xio Roung Bao I ever had in Thailand.....😁😁.. May be in asia..... So far... 🤤🤤😋😋

The buiding also called Changmai Maha-in's Residence (清邁箜昭布里拉瑪哈英府). A building combines native and western style.

Very nice place for someone interested in art, especially south east asian architecture. The amount of details and maquettes is impre2 enough for a small 2 floor ex-residential house. The access inside is also very accessible for students (20 baht for foreign ones and 10 baht for local ones) and a little bit more expensive for adults (60 and 120 respectively). One issue it may be that most of the writing is accessible only in Thai and you may need a translator (i.e. Google Translate Camera option) to capture all the information. Finally, there's a small coffee shop in the yard to chill after ending the stroll around the art center.

(Translated by Google) I went in with the admission fee, so I didn't have much to see. 120 baht may not have been big money, but if you don't know much about architecture, you can be disappointed. Later photos are the real thing. End with it! (Original) 평이 좋길래 입장료를 내고서라도 들어가봤는데, 그다지 볼 것이 없었어요. 120밧이 큰돈은 아닐 수 있었는데, 건축에 대해 잘 알지 못한다면 실망하실 수 있어요. 후기의 사진들이 진짜 전부입니다. 그걸로 끝!

Take time more and more time. So nice and peaceful

(Translated by Google) In fact, there is not much interest in architecture. However, the view from the entrance of this center and the cafe provide comfort. Personally, from a different point of view, it is tempting to have occasional performances on large lawns on Saturday nights. The show, which I saw at the dinner show, was held here for more than 2 hours (26. Jan. 2019). Photographing with the cast after the performance is more satisfactory. The performances are not held every week, but such performances await. (Original) 사실 건축에 대해서는 많은 관심이 없다. 그러나 이 센터의 입구에서 본 전망과 카페는 편안함을 준다. 개인적으로 다른 관점에서 본다면 토요일 밤에 넓은 잔디밭에서 간혹 공연이 열린다는 것이 매력적이다. 내가 본 칸똑디너쇼에서 디너만 뺀 쇼가 이곳에서 2시간 이상 열렸다(26. Jan. 2019). 공연 후 전통복장을 한 출연진과의 사진촬영은 더 없이 만족함을 준다. 공연이 매주 열리지는 않지만 그런 공연이 또 기다려진다.

Look nice from the outside. When I went there they are closed due to COVID-19.

Does anyone know about the opening hours?

(Translated by Google) Beautiful artworks. The painter painted images while people watched. (Original) Kauniita taideteoksia. Taidemaalari maalasi kuvia samalla kun ihmiset katselivat.
