Wat Muang Folk Museum

Wat Muang Folk museum is one of the temples of Mon people that have settled at two riverbanks of Mae Klong River in the area of Ban Pong District for over 350 years.  It was established in celebration of the fifth cycle birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit on August 12, 1992, under the guidance of HRH Princess Sirindhorn. The museum has collected stories on the history of local Mon people's lifestyles and cultures from past to present. The history of Wat Muang temple was written in Mon script on a palm-leaf scripture, stating that it was founded over 300 years ago in the late Ayuthaya Period.
