The Treasury Museum Chiang Mai
About This Museum
Would you believe this gorgeous building used to be the Royal Mint of Chiang Mai? Stepping inside feels like discovering a secret, where the history of Northern Thailand is told not through dusty artifacts, but through money itself. The cool, polished floors lead you through rooms that feel more like a grand, old bank than a typical museum. It’s a surprisingly intimate and fascinating look at what people have valued for centuries.
Collection Highlights
You can see everything from ancient Lanna-era bullet coins and intricate silver ingots to the beautiful, temple-like printing blocks used for early banknotes. Don't miss the collection of vintage safes and the stories behind old lottery tickets—it's way more interesting than it sounds!
Visitor Information
It's right on the main Ratchadamnoen Road in the old city, so it's easy to pop into while you're temple-hopping. Just check their opening hours online as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a stunning, century-old colonial-Lanna fusion building painted a crisp white, with elegant arches and dark wood accents that make it stand out beautifully on the historic street.
