Title: Museum, who woulda thought.
Post by: Wardog on November 30, 2002, 04:18:48 PM

I am going back to Thailand again this January for holidays. On my last trip i saw many C47s in scrap yards and junk piles on the side of the highway between Bangkok and Pattaya. So i decided to see what if any Museums they had.

Well sure enough they have one in Bankok and also another in one of the northern provences. Not well advertised and as far as i can tell, they would prefer you not visit, Only in Thailand :)

But it does have a few treasures and i will try my best to bribe my way in when i go in January.

What amazes me is the condition of these planes.
These are from a fellow enthuiast site but what is just as interesting as the planes was his little adventure finding then accessing the Museum. Have a read, think you will enjoy it.
