This privately owned museum houses an impressive collection of
paraphernalia from virtually every corner of the former Lanna kingdom. The items,
some of which truly are one of a kind, range from a monkey bone food taster used
by Lanna royalty to an impressive carved throne from Chiang Tung, Myanmar
(Burma). Guided tours (available in English) are obligatory, and include a walk
through a gilded artificial cave holding several Buddha statues, complete with disco
lights and fake torches.
The Oub Kham Museum is 2km outside of the centre town and can be a bit tricky
to find; túk-túks (pronounced
đúk dúk
) will go here for about 50B.
