Surin National Museum

Worth a look

What we say:

The provincial museum contains well laid out exhibitions on the local ethnic groups, Suay, Khmer and Lao, on rice farming and on the Angkor period in Surin as well as a general outline of Surin history and culture.

A handful of exhibits display cloths, art and tools from all of the above, and there are even a few English descriptions.

The museum is worth a peek if heading towards the Khmer ruins as you'll acquire some knowledge which may help put the ruins into the historical-cultural context of the area.

Definitely Worth a Visit

21st April, 2011

An excellent museum with a little bit of everything - culture, natural history, geography, geology, rice cultivation, Khmer history, etc.
It'll give you a good overview of this part of Thailand.
It was open Wednesday to Sunday when I visited.
One thing. DO NOT try to walk there. It's far out-of-town. You need to rent a moto or get a moto driver to take you.
