Chok Chai Museum Khu Khot, Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani. As a true Thai cowboy, Mr. Chokchai is fond of preserving Classical Thai House & Benjarong. This is a reproduction of Mr. Chokchai’s original house built on Farm Chokchai over 30 years ago.
A classic-style Thai house embodies the culture and identity of Thailand, and is the ideal showcase to display traditional Thai handicrafts such as Benjarong ceramics, a type of Asian pottery which has a long history in Thailand.
Although these unique wares were initially made in China, nowadays they are produced in Thailand by local master craftsmen.
They can be found in every region of Thailand and are renowned all over the world because of their unique and exquisite designs. Benjarong ceramics reflect Thai beliefs and the Thai way of life.
