    A small Museum but we'll worth a visit and the 100 baht admission. There are information sheets and a cycling map at the ticket booth. With all the signs, located at so many points around Chiang Saen, it is possible to appreciate what you are seeing without visiting the museum.

    Although it is small, it is a national museum. It's located about 800m inland from the Mekong River, so if you arrive by bus from Chiang Rai, it might be a good idea to get off a little earlier. Inside the museum, the main focus is on Chiang Saen-style Buddhist statues and inscriptions, while other exhibits also introduce crafts, ceramics, textiles, and other cultures developed through trade through the great Mekong river. If you want to enrich your visit to the ruins and sights in Chiang Saen, please stop by.

    Something valuable and interesting to study. If you have time it will be great. There will be officials giving information at various points, but if you're in a hurry, you'll only be able to walk past. I will feel indifferent. There should be someone knowledgeable to take a look. There is an admission fee. If you come during the Thailand Biennale Chiang Rai art period, there will be a screening room showing the story of Chiang Saen. city ​​wall pictures See clearly, very beautiful This part is in the building behind. Admission is free. The air-conditioned room for watching movies is very cool. There are many clean bathrooms. Open for viewing Wednesday - Sunday. Closed Monday - Tuesday

Inscription stones from Phayao and Chiang Saen itself can be found in the museum. In addition, there are exhibitions of indigenous art objects of the Thai Yai, Thai Lu and other hill tribes.

    A lovely small museum packed with many artifacts and historical stories about the Lan Na culture, usually it’s 100b (I’d say it’s worth it) but until 5th Jan it’s free so if you are here don’t miss it. It’s just next to the ruins and you’ll spend about 1.5-2hrs at both.

But the whole bamboo tube that has just been burned is hot and hot, I don’t know how to take it away?

    (Translated by Google) It is one of eight national museums in the northern part of Thailand (under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture of Arts). It was made in 1957. The entrance fee is 100 Baht (foreigner) must be paid in order to see the exhibition inside the building. The opening hours are from 8:30 to 16:30, Monday and Tuesday and Thai holidays are closed days. There is Pasak Historical Park on the east side, and Wat Chedilwan, an ancient temple in Chiang Saen, is on the west side, so it would be nice to visit them. Many of the exhibits are basically obtained (found) by an archaeological survey in Chiang Rai province mainly in Chiang Saen. In addition to archaeological relics, there are folk materials on ethnic minorities in Chienlai province. It seems that Payao County adjacent to the south was Chien Lai province until it was separated in 1977, but stone monuments of Payao etc are also exhibited. It is a very good place to learn the history of Chiang Saen. Because the explanation of English is also attached to the exhibit in the hall, even if Thai can not be read it will manage somehow. There is also an English version of the museum brochure. There are several exhibits outside the building on the premises. Panels and photographs are also being exhibited in the building (hut) in a separate building. There is a shop in the hall, in addition to drinks, Thai books and accessories are on sale. Photographing and taking notes in the hall are not prohibited here. If you do not use the flash you can take pictures of the exhibits. (Original) タイ北部地域にある8つの国立博物館(文化省芸術局所管)の1つです。1957年につくられました。  館内の展示を見るには入館料は100バーツ(外国人)を払う必要があります。開館時間は8:30〜16:30で、月曜日と火曜日およびタイの祝日は閉館日になっています。  東隣にはパーサック歴史公園があり、西隣にはチェンセーンの古刹ワット・チェディルワンがありますので、これらとともに訪れると良いでしょう。  展示物の多くは、基本的にチェンセーンを中心としたチェンラーイ県での考古調査で得られた(見つかった)ものです。考古遺物のほか、チェンラーイ県の少数民族に関する民俗資料もあります。南に隣接するパヤオ県は1977年に分離されるまでチェンラーイ県であったからであると思いますが、パヤオの石碑なども展示されています。  チェンセーンの歴史を学ぶのにとても良い場所です。  館内の展示品には英語の解説も付いていますので、タイ語が読めなくても何とかなります。博物館のパンフレットも英語版があります。  構内の建物の外にも展示物がいくつかあります。別棟の建物(小屋)ではパネルや写真の展示もなされています。  館内には売店があり、飲み物のほか、タイ語の書籍や小物などが販売されています。  ここは館内での写真撮影やメモ取りが禁止されていません。フラッシュを使わなければ展示物の写真を撮ることができます。
