Ho Watanatham Nithat - Phayao Museum

Opened in 1999, the museum is located 200 metres from Wat Sri Khom Kham, and is well worth a visit. Displays include artifacts from the Phayao Kingdom era, historical records, local legends, stone tablets and objects of everyday life in the region.

Opening Hours: Wednesday-Sunday from 9am to 4pm.

NB: The rather misleading signage at the entrance gate shows “Nursing College”  :-)
