The Ubo Khum Museum serves as a vital center for preserving the invaluable heritage of the ancient Lanna Kingdom and the diverse clothing and garments of various Tai ethnic groups within the region. Driven by a deep commitment to safeguarding Lanna's rich history, Professor Julsak Suriyachai established this museum as a repository for precious artifacts from the Lanna Kingdom, including items used in royal courts and noble houses such as those from Phrae, Chiang Mai, and Nan. Visitors to the museum can explore a collection of ancient textiles dating back over 200 years, all meticulously gathered by a passionate curator who aimed to reunite these treasures scattered throughout various locations back to their homeland in Thailand. This initiative not only preserves the cultural legacy of Lanna but also ensures that future generations have the opportunity to study and appreciate this remarkable history.
