Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum — Attraction in Khon Kaen Province

Very informative, extensive and modern museum. There is a nice section for kids, but the museum is also very well suited for adults interested in natural history, geology and dinosaurs. The exhibition is not only about dinosaurs: it covers the 'whole' of earth's history (from big bang, to micro-organisms, to dinosaurs and ice ages). In the museum all the information signs and videos are in Thai & English. Outside of the museum, in the garden, most of the signs are only in Thai, because those are the kids' activities. You can get coffee/Thai tea near the museum, the restaurant was not open when we visited, probably only in use when schoolclasses visit. There is a restaurant and small shop across the road, though. After the museum we went to the dinosaur excavation sites nearby in the national park (about 3km). From the visitor center (small but informative, also with a little café/shop) there is a trail of about 3-3,5km you can walk, covering 4 sites and a viewpoint. There are other sites further in the park. Keep in mind you have to pay 200BHT (for foreigners) for the national park. Plus 60BHT for the museum. For me it was worth it - but my view may be biased, as a big dinosaur fan since...

Khon Kaen is well-known for the archaeological site where lot of bones of dinosaur bones have been found.

Very good for school classes as additional teaching course in nice environment. A gift shop and small store for snacks and drinks is available. Negative is that the kitchen was not open and looks like longer time not used. This place is a must go if you visit Khon Kaen especially if you go there...
