Ramkhamhaeng National Museum, Sukhothai (24 December, 2003)


Ramkhamhaeng National Museum (GPS: xxzz; Thai: พิพิธภัณฑสถานแห่งชาติรามคำแหง ) is a museum at Sukhothai Historical Park, in Sukhothai, Thailand. Opened by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit in 1964, it was named after the king who founded Sukhothai. The museum is one of the most comprehensive of the provincial branches of the National Museum of Thailand. The museum is located next to the eastern entrance to the historical park.

The Ramkhamhaeng National Museum provides a showcase for artefacts of ancient Thailand, primarily of Sukhothai, but also that of Si Satchanalai, Kamphaeng Phet, Phichit and Phetchabun. Some of the important Buddha statues of Sukhothai have been relocated from their original site to this museum for better safekeeping and display, and to prevent further weathering of the elements. These include items from Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Phai Luang, and other ruins. There are also stone artefacts displayed in the garden outside the museum building.

In addition to artefacts that are native to Thailand, the Ramkhamhaeng National Museum also displays foreign artefacts that were introduced into Thailand during ancient times. This includes porcelain pieces from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties which were found in Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
