Sgt. Maj. Thawee Folk Museum, Phitsanulok

The Sgt. Maj. Thawee Folk Museum, located in Wisut Kasat Road was started from Sergeant Major Dr. Thawee’s Booranakhate’s true calling. Also known as Lung Jha he collected and purchased thousands of old items from people around his town with his hard-earned money and slowly started to build his museum. At the time his wife and family didn’t quite understand what he was doing and thought he must be crazy or have some sort of disorder but Lung Jha spent time in his garage repairing and renovating the pieces that he acquired. He also classified his collection and created a database. At this point entirely on his own he was able to exhibit his collection in the hope that in the future people would appreciate what he had achieved. Now after 35 years his dream has come true and his collection installed in the museum he created has become known to people far and wide.
