About This Museum

You know how everyone goes to Chiang Khan for the wooden boardwalk and the mist over the Mekong? Well, a little way out of town, there's this gem that film buffs and the just-plain-curious absolutely have to see. It’s a total passion project, filled with old movie cameras, classic Thai film posters with their dramatic artwork, and even vintage projectors that look like they could tell a thousand stories. Stepping inside feels less like visiting a formal museum and more like stumbling into a wonderfully cluttered attic dedicated entirely to the magic of cinema. It’s a quiet, personal, and surprisingly charming detour from the usual tourist trail.

Collection Highlights

The walls are lined with vibrant, slightly faded posters from classic Thai movies, and you can get up close to all sorts of heavy, intricate film cameras from a bygone era.

Visitor Information

It's located just outside the main part of Chiang Khan—easy enough to find with a quick scooter ride. Since it's such a small, personal place, it might be worth asking locally about opening hours before you head over.

Architecture & Building

It's housed in a modern Thai-style building that feels clean and simple from the outside, which makes the treasure trove of old-school cinema inside all the more surprising.
