Hong Mun Mang Mueang Khon Kaen, Khon Kaen City Museum — Attraction in Khon Kaen Province

Two great informative museums in Khon Kaen- the national museum and the city museum “Hung Moon Mung”. This one explained the history and traditional culture of Khon Kaen . I learned more how the “Isaan” beliefs and heritage evolved through the centuries. Most of the information is in English also. Unfortunately, ( as with many Thai municipal government projects), the professionally built museum has not been maintained- so the lighting is poor and in some areas the roof leaks. Sad to see the government neglect such a city treasure. —Be sure to see the beautiful Chinese garden next...

First time i came here it was 2023 and it was unfortunately closed. This time i made it and met this amazing lady at the entrance. Museum is very simple, yet gives you all historical knowledge about Khon Kaen. Love this city and the people. ❤️ There is free parking around both for cars and motos. Havent checked toilets. You may walk around and discover the lake view. If you stay longer you must visit night market after 5pm which is right...

The varied exhibits illustrate traditional life, religion, and history of people in Isan. The museum is in 5 zones in a large semicircular arrangement. Open Tuesday to Sunday 0900-1700; closed Monday and holidays. Foreign admission is 90 baht....
