Highland People Discovery Museum

Highland People Discovery Museum introduces cultures of Thailand’s northern highland communities through ethnographic displays. Its location by a lake north of central Chiang Mai makes it a separate museum outing.

Highland People Discovery Museum

Why go

The exhibits introduce material culture and everyday practices of northern highland communities. This is a place to spend time with the displays, then step outside to the lakeside setting. The museum sits north of the center, so combine it with another stop in that area if you are making the journey.

What to look for

  • Ethnographic displays and the lakeside setting

Useful to know

  • Confirm museum entry before traveling to the lakeside site north of the center.
