Mining Museum in Phuket: photos, reviews

About

Located in the rural northwest of Phuket, the Phuket Mining Museum offers a serene yet captivating retreat from the bustling city life. This small but well-maintained museum vividly captures the history of mining, human evolution, and Chinese immigration with beautifully presented exhibits. The air-conditioned building is both lovely and informative, making it a comfortable place for visitors of all ages.

Children will especially enjoy the interactive role-playing areas, while everyone can appreciate the hands-on education about Thailand's tin mining history. Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides, the tours are both engaging and enlightening.

Despite its quiet ambiance and being less frequented by tourists, the museum offers a unique and enriching experience for just 100 baht per person. The old mining equipment scattered around the surroundings adds an authentic touch, enhancing the immersive atmosphere. Outside, explore the lush green area, take peaceful walks, or partake in fish feeding by the pool.

Perfectly situated on the way from Phuket Town to the airport, the Phuket Mining Museum is a hidden gem awaiting discovery.

This museum gives us a glance of how Phuket used to be in the past. Contradictory from nowadays that every place is more or less a tourist place. I like it but it is not a fancy place but my boys enjoyed it. You can wander for 1-3hours max. If you have time and would like to see phuket in the past I would recommend it.

A former tin mine converted to a museum. They have different indoor sections that is set up but you need to ask them where to start as there is no obvious signage. Each room is simple and spacious. Some has themed build up and some are just exhibits.
