Thai-Chinese Cultural Center, Udon Thani Province, Thailand

4.5 (101 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Udon Thani History Museums

Little China in the center of Udon thani

Ones can relax with Chinese atmosphere in this cutie place. Its architecture and design (Chinese pavilion with many Chinese lanterns and a carp pond in the middle) made us feel like we were in the mansion of wealthy Chinese in the era of Qing dynasty. My favourite thing is many short stories (with bas-relief illustrations) around the place that teach moral principles to their descendants. Museum zone displays the history of Chinese people (and their cultural) in Udon thani, while other zones are souvenir shop and cafe. "Phing An" cafe offers you Chinese tea, coffee, mantou (steamed bun with no filling), bao (steamed bun with filling). We also bought some fish food at souvenir shop to feed many carp in the pond. Moreover, walking through a beautiful Chinese garden in the back of the place will lead ones to an ancestor shrine. Many people worship this shrine for prosperity of their life. Absolutely Chinese / No entrance fee / Worth visiting

Relaxing place. Good for solo/family trip.
The place is very relaxing. You can walk around the huge lake/park located outside or enjoy walking in the cultural center. They have Thai-Chinese museum which explains the history how the Chinese community started in Udonthani. Also you can join tea-making demonstration and try different kinds of teas. Theres nothing much to see but I did enjoy my time there. No entrance fee. Can visit or with family.

Cultural Fascination
Close to the Laos border you will find the Province of Udon Thani, Thailand. If you are looking to escape the chaos of city life, come hangout in Udon Thani. I had the pleasure of visiting this must see cultural center. It's Chinese decor makes you feel like you are in a totally different world. The layout is magnificent and bright. I love it!
