Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum
พิพิธภัณฑ์ไดโนเสาร์ภูเวียง
One of Thailand's largest dinosaur museums, displaying fossils discovered on Phu Wiang Mountain, including Sirindhorn's Siamosaurus.
The Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum is in Phu Wiang district, about 80 km northwest of Khon Kaen. In 1976, the first dinosaur fossil in Thailand was found on nearby Phu Wiang Mountain. Other new species followed, including Sirindhorn's Siamosaurus and Siamotyrannus. The museum has reconstructed dinosaur skeletons, a fossil restoration lab, and galleries on geological evolution. Large dinosaur sculptures stand outside, which makes it family-friendly. It is closed on Mondays and open about 9:00–17:00. Admission is about 60 baht for foreigners. There is no convenient public bus, so hire a car or drive yourself. You can combine a visit with the fossil dig site at Phu Wiang National Park on the same day.
