Phra Archan Man Phurithatto Museum, Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand

4.5 (33 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Sakon Nakhon Speciality Museums

Interesting Place of History

Admittedly you don't find yourself in Sakon Nakhon for tourism but there are a few places of interest. None so much more than the Venerable Phra Achan Mun Bhuridatta Thera Museum. Located in the grounds on the Wat Pa Sutdhawa, behind glass screens are the final resting place of many of Ajahn Man's personal affects. Ajahn Man was a Thai Buddhist monk who along with his mentor were heralded as establishing a form of Buddhism through Thailand. Accompanying the glass screens the musuem provides explanations on plaques in both English and Thai of Ajahn's involvement and the use of the items. Very informative. Ample parking is under the shade of numerous trees and there are were four food and drink vendors in the forecourt.
