Came here without any expectation, as I read from the previous Google reviews that this place is old and nothing to see. The reviews were outdated and boy I was totally blown away. The museum is very modern with Muji vibe to it, not to mention the floor is sparkling clean. It is air-conditioned and very well maintained. - Take a look at the pictures taken. On the content part, it has very nice displays of the historical items and information about Kanchanaburi. We just spend around one hour at this museum, and most of the time we are just busying pictures, because it's so well designed. The entrance ticket is only THB50, which is very affordable. Do visit here if you happen to passby! (Follow me on Instagram @kehhung)

Brand new Museum to visit, very well datas and ancient pieces arrangement, recommended. The pots are very old as 3000 - 5000 years.

Beautiful archaeological museum, describing the early prehistory, first discovered along the route of the Death railway

Stunning architecture, well curated and excellent display of prehistoric tools and objects found in this area. Very cool air-con and friendly staff, one of my favourite museums in Thailand.

Highly recommended!! for people who are interested in history. There are both antiques and several kinds of videos from specialist to provide visitors the information. This place gets your money's worth. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

World class museum in a very isolated setting. Lots of information on the prehistory of Thailand

Similar to the silk road, Ban Kao captured the trade and people movement from late stone age to date. Fantastic place to visit.

Highly recommend!!! Great exhibition, great museum building and nice staff.

Excellent modern museum with nice displays and detailed information, including the latest radiocarbon dating.

really impressed by this museum, not too much of historical stuff but well presented, with video subtitles English and ludic, really advise for family trip and have air-conditioning!

Never seen a national museum like this one in Thailand . A must go!

(Translated by Google) Is a place to show the existence of the oldest ancestors With a thousand-year-old wooden coffin Development of tools since the Stone Age In ancient times, this place used to be a seaside before. Therefore is a place of trading with foreigners Officials say In this area, there has not been any serious archaeological excavations. There should be something new to be discovered. Give a lot more hilarity But because of lack of budget from the state and local Advancements in excavations are not going anywhere. Which is a classic problem of our home Despite being serious in this way It can boom the tourism industry to make a lot of money for the community. Story is already there. Only seriousness. (Original) เป็นสถานที่แสดงการมีอยู่ของบรรพบุรุษที่เก่าแก่สุด มีโลงไม้อายุพันปี พัฒนาการของเครื่องมือเครื่องใช้ตั้งแต่ยุคหิน ในยุคโบราณที่แห่งนี้เคยเป็นชายทะเลมาก่อน จึงเป็นแหล่งค้าขายติดต่อกับต่างชาติ เจ้าหน้าที่บอกว่า บริเวณแห่งนี้, ยังไม่มีการขุดค้นทางโบราณคดีอย่างจริงจัง น่าจะมีอะไรใหม่ให้รอค้นพบ ให้ฮือฮาอีกเยอะเลย แต่เพราะยังขาดงบประมาณจากรัฐและท้องถิ่น ความก้าวหน้าในการขุดค้นจึงไม่ไปไหน ซึ่งเป็นปัญหาคลาสสิคของบ้านเรา ทั้งๆที่ถ้าเอาจริงกับทางนี้ มันสามารถบูมการท่องเทียวทำเงินให้กับชุมชนได้มหาศาลเลยนะ สตอรี่น่ะ มีอยู่แล้ว ขอแค่ความจริงจังเท่านั้น

Nice planning archaeological museum, have many critical historical points and evidence.

A new museum very well done and explaining the archeological discoveries in the area and the way of living of the an Kao People

The earlier National Museum in Thailand. Now the building is under construction but the site museum at Wat Thra Po near the museum is available.

50thb for entrance. Not many items but they are first batch to be found, very treasure.

Not so good museum. Quite old but full of knowledge. Fasinating to see the things about pre-historic age.

Ordinary but quaint.

Nice museum to learn more about kanchanaburi. Also nice view outside.

New style of prehistoric museum that was just opened in March 2022. I could not find timeline to explain the evolution of civilization in the same area in KanjanaBuri. Highly recommended to go within 1-2 years from now.

Very interesting! A well-designed museum about ancient settlements, in Thai and English.

I entered this museum for free and it's full of knowledge and old stuff to explore. 100% recommended to visit.

Best museum in Karnchanaburi. Thanks to whoever make this happened

Definitely recommend for museum lovers !
