In the northeastern region of Thailand, where numerous dinosaur bones have been unearthed, a research center for the study and collection of these findings emerged, eventually evolving into a museum. Named by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the Phu Khum Khao Dinosaur Museum officially bears the name Sirindhorn Museum. It is a vibrant museum that offers engaging education about the prehistoric world, the origin of life, and the extinction of dinosaurs. Visitors to this museum will have the opportunity to observe the dedicated work of the staff from the Department of Mineral Resources up close. This includes geologists carefully excavating large dinosaur skeletons that are nearly complete, which are then sent to specialists in laboratories for research to determine their true species. In addition to the geological knowledge and benefits provided, guests can also enjoy the permanent exhibitions, which are presented in a playful manner. Beautiful and easy-to-understand infographics accompany modern images, covering topics such as the Big Bang Theory and asteroid impacts. It guarantees that both children and adults can learn side by side throughout the day. **Must-See Attractions:** - The dinosaur bone excavation building, offering a glimpse into a Jurassic world. - A fossil display room showcasing model fossils discovered from various countries around the globe. - A hall featuring Thai dinosaur bones where life-size replicas allow us to envision what these dinosaurs looked like in reality. The Thai dinosaur, named Siamomotramus isanensis, was first discovered in our northeastern region. The most complete example of dinosaur bones in Southeast Asia is preserved here. **Don’t Miss These Activities:** - Learn about the origins of tsunamis. - Witness the formation of stalactites and stalagmites.
