Thai Boat Museum
Ayutthaya is home to Thailand’s most skilled boat builders. In the past, the city had more klongs (canals) than roads, and boats used to be the main mode of transport. This private museum belongs to Phaithun Khaomala, a renowned boat modeler and former boat builder.
His extensive collection, mostly constructed with teakwood and iron Malabar wood, ranges from Thai and Chinese trade junks, rice barges and market boats to miniature Royal Barges. Some of them are more than 100 years old.
