Ket Karam Temple Museum

The Ket Karam Temple Museum is a unique historical museum of Thailand located in the temple building.

The temple itself was built in 587. The initiator of the museum in the temple was in 2000 the son of William Bane Jack, who served in the East Asian Campaign. The purpose of the museum is to preserve the ancient art and culture of Lanna.

Here is an invaluable collection of exhibits of past centuries. These are old gramophones and receivers, clothes and shoes, coins and bills, antique dishes, ancient household appliances, various tools, wood carvings, statues and images of the Buddha, ancient hunting rifles and much more. The collection of photographs of past centuries is considered the best in Chiang Mai.

On weekends, children have the opportunity to get free lessons in Lanna’s classical dances.
