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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
