Chalermraja Cultural Centre Phon Phisai Museum

Chalermraja Cultural Centre Phon Phisai museum is located at the old district office of Amphoe Phon Phisai, Phisai Soradet Road, Tambon Chumphon. The building was constructed in 1924 when Khun Worawutmontri (Thongdi Intharakamhaeng) was the 4th District Chief using a budget donated by the people of Amphoe Phon Phisai. The construction was made by local artisans into the Colonial architecture, using no cement. The District submitted an application to the Fine Arts Unit 9 (Khon Kaen) for the building to be registered as an ancient monument and in 2010, was granted permission to restore and turn it into the Phon Phisai Museum. In 2013, the Department of Cultural Promotion, Ministry of Culture, assigned the museum as a Chalermraja Cultural Centre with exhibitions in honour of King Rama IX, cultural heritage, and folk wisdom including:
1. King Rama IX’s royal activities.
2. History and goodies of Phon Phisai.
3. Amazing Naga fireballs.
The Museum’s restoration and decoration was completed and its official opening
ceremony took place on 26 December, 2014. It then became a source of knowledge for the community and people in general. It is open on Mondays-Saturdays (closed on Sundays) during 9.00 a.m.-4.00 p.m. For more information, Tel: 08 1061 5113.
