Prehistoric Ban Chiang Pottery Museum
Bangkok, ThailandAbout
Prehistoric Ban Chiang Pottery Museum (Krom Luang Vorased Thasuda Residential Hall). This small brick building was the home of Princess Bootri, a daughter of King Rama III. King Rama V considered her his grandmother, as she raised Princess Phra Thepsirin who is the mother of King Rama V. Now it has prehistoric pottery from the Ban Chiang Archaeological Site on show here. This site in Northern Isaan was discovered in 1966 by Stephan Young, and is considered one of the most important prehistoric sites of Southeast Asia. The artifacts on show are thus from a civilization that has existed between 3600 BC and 200 AD.
