Loei Museum

Loei Museum

is located at the old building which formerly served as the Mueang Loei District Office (on the upper floor of the TAT Loei Office). It is also a national ancient monument under the responsibility of the Loei Provincial Administration Organisation and the Loei Provincial Culture Office. History of Loei from the past to the present as well as local arts, culture, and traditions are on display at this museum which is divided into three parts. The first part or Room 1 displays the history of Loei. Room 2 features important culture and traditions of Loei province, with a display of everyday life utensils in the past of the Thai Loei people. Room 3, which is called “Roi Sadet” or traces of the royal visit, exhibits the royal chairs of H.M. the King and H.M. the Queen during their three visits to Loei: a visit to plant conifers on Phu Kradueng in 1955, a visit to meet their subjects in Amphoe Dan Sai in 1973, and a visit to boost the spirits of the National Defence Volunteers to protect the motherland at the forecourt of Loei Provincial Hall in 1981.
