PRINCESS MAHA CHAKRI SIRINDHORN NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM [PART 2]



3rd DECEMBER 2019 ~There were not many people at the museum when I was there. It was definitely not an attraction to people who visited Hat Yai. However, I met a Malaysian family who came to the museum, there were 6 of them I think. I was lucky as one of them was kind enough to book a Grab car for me to get back to the hotel as there was no free wi-fi detected. 😊




Other than to educate the public, this museum also acts as a research, training and conservation centre.






























If you wonder why the museum is named after Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, this because, being an educated and learned person, she had a very deep interest in Science, natural resources and environment. There are even a few species of flora and fauna named after here upon discoveries.












My hat's off to all the people who are involved in making this place a museum of high standard. A lot of money must have been spent and will need more to maintain this place, but it is worth every single baht.  A museum is not just a place for tourists to visit, but it is also an educational avenue to nourish one's hungry soul for knowledge and  experience.
