Korat Fossil Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Korat Fossil Museum not just to see old rocks, but to feel a profound connection to a prehistoric world that once existed right under their feet. It’s a place of quiet wonder, where you can walk among the stunning remains of ancient trees that have turned to solid, colorful stone over millions of years. The sheer size and beautiful, crystalline details of these petrified logs are absolutely breathtaking. You leave with a real sense of the deep time that shaped this very region.
Collection Highlights
The star attractions are the enormous, cross-sectioned petrified logs that gleam with hues of red and orange agate. Don't miss the fascinating displays of fossilized plants and animals, including ancient elephants and buffalo, which paint a complete picture of the prehistoric ecosystem.
Visitor Information
It's located within the Petrofied Wood Research Institute in Suranari, which is easy to find. Since it's a bit specialized, it's often wonderfully uncrowded, giving you plenty of space to really contemplate these natural marvels.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a modern, functional building that feels more like a dedicated research center than a grand museum, which somehow makes the ancient treasures inside feel even more special.
