Oub Kham Museum

Reviewed By Labienus - Bangkok, Thailand

Though not so easy to find, this museum is an absolute gem, with incredible artefacts and enthusiastic guides. If you want to know about the Lanna Kingdom and about religious art in the region, this IS the place to go. The tea offered at the end of the tour was delicious.

House of Opium

Located in the heart of the infamous Golden Triangle, this museum is dedicated to educating visitors about the history of the opium trade and the dangers of addiction.

Reviewed By remembertoremember - Chiang Mai, Thailand

Crucial museum to bring awareness of the sordid history of Opium and narcotics. I went with a group of friends, some had direct experience with heroin addiction and were in recovery, and some had no idea the connection between opium, narcotics, medicinal uses and addiction. Ignorant? Maybe, that is why education is so crucial. This museum had beautiful art, excellent movies to watch, all kinds of displays to portray the complexity of the history of Narcotics. The final area was a meditation hall, with plaques with words of inspiration.

5. Hongluang Saengkaew Museum
