Chiang Mai National Museum — Attraction in Chiang Mai Province

I’m lucky enough to live in Chiang Mai City where there are tons of museums, aquariums and historical places like Buddhist temples, gates to explore and new exhibits to see. Still, one of my favorite things to do whenever I visit a new city is to get lost in a great museum. So, I went the Chiang Mai National Museum.🥳 Yay!!!

Hello, sorry to say I had a club sandwich here and it really was not so good. The place seems nice and clean and the staff were pretty friendly and took care fairly well. But the club sandwich was just not good. It had 3 thick sliced toasted white bread. So far so good.

Interesting was a gallery highlighting changes through time of shapes and styles of Buddhist sculptures. The shape of the face, body, and head changed with different eras and dominant kingdoms at the time in what is now Thailand. A very good walk through of the production methods used hundreds of years ago for a massive bronze Buddha head used baked clay made of hay, dung, earth, and wax to create the mold, and when the hot bronze was poured into the cast, the wax melted away, creating a gap to remove the clay and be left with the bronze sculpture. Not crowded, it was a good stop to better understand the history of...
