Lanna Folklife Centre

Extremely nice experience! There are 2 stories and so many things to see. Perfect for visiting when it is raining outside. First level shows the past life of the Lanna people, the Buddha statues and the meanings of some of the stuff you see around chiangmai. You will appreciate some of the stuff they are selling at the night markets as well as what you see in the temples after visiting this place. If you're in a rush for time, I suggest you can visit here and skip the Chiang mai culture centre which is just across the road.

A great place to understand Northern Thailand’s rich culture. The museum offers well-organized exhibits on Lanna origins, art, traditional clothing patterns, Buddha images, and daily life. It’s peaceful, informative, and beautifully presented. Since Lanna culture represents Northern Thai heritage, this museum is a meaningful stop for anyone wanting to dive deeper into Chiang Mai’s roots. Entry is 90 thv

We passed this place so many times while staying in Chiang Mai & were finally motivated to go in as our time here comes to an end. What looks like an unassuming government building actually is a wonderful museum providing a profound, yet concise, history of the area & the Lanna culture. All of the exhibits look new & are well cared-for. We visited toward the end of the day & we almost had the place to ourselves. The cost to enter was 90 Baht.

Thoroughly explored the whole museum, learned so much about the ancient history of the northern region of Thailand, specifically in relation to how people lived day to day. Was quiet and peaceful and nicely staged museum

A small but lots of interesting things to learn & see. Should visit together with the Art & Cultural centre.

The museum is very interesting, many objects and costumes are displayed according to Lanna culture, helping visitors to understand the culture as well as have a place to visit in Chiangmai

The Lanna Folklife Centre in Chiang Mai is a fascinating museum showcasing Northern Thai culture. With detailed exhibits on traditions, art, and daily life, it’s a great place to learn about Lanna heritage. Super interesting for anyone who enjoys history, culture, and authentic local experiences.

A really interesting museum showcasing Thai Lanna culture. With 20 rooms to visit, allow yourself enough time to do it justice. Entry is Baht 90 per person.
