Thavorn Phuket Museum
About This Museum
Stepping into the Thavorn Museum is like walking straight into a 1960s time capsule, right in the middle of Phuket Town. It's actually part of the Thavorn Hotel, which has been around since the '60s and has kept all its incredible vintage charm. You'll find yourself surrounded by old wooden display cases packed with everything from classic film cameras and typewriters to antique medical equipment and dusty bottles. The air is thick with the scent of aged wood, and it feels less like a formal museum and more like you've been given a key to your grandparents' wonderfully cluttered attic.
Collection Highlights
The real highlights are the quirky everyday objects from decades past—think ornate Singer sewing machines, collections of old-fashioned radios, and walls covered in historic black-and-white photographs of Phuket. It’s a treasure hunt of nostalgia.
Visitor Information
Since it's inside the hotel lobby area on Ratsada Road, you can just wander in; it feels wonderfully informal and there's no pressure. It’s a perfect quick stop to break up a day of exploring the town.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a beautiful example of mid-20th century Sino-Portuguese architecture, with high ceilings, intricate wooden fretwork, and those iconic shuttered windows that let in soft, dusty light.
