Prince Chak Kam Kajornsak's Palace
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Lamphun, Thailand's oldest walled city, this museum feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. It was once the private residence of Prince Chak Kam Kajornsak, and stepping onto the grounds is an immediate departure from the modern world. The airy teak building, more elegant home than sterile gallery, is filled with personal artifacts, royal portraits, and heirlooms that whisper stories of a bygone era. You get a palpable sense of the prince's life and legacy here, making it a wonderfully intimate historical experience.
Collection Highlights
Look for the prince's personal effects and ceremonial items that give a glimpse into his daily life and royal duties. The collection of old photographs is particularly compelling, documenting not just the prince but also the social history of Lamphun itself.
