Ganesh Museum

Ganesh Museum is the first and the only museum in Thailand that collects artifacts and statues of “Ganesh”, the God of Success, Fulfillment, Career, Intellect and Luck and also a remover of obstacles through over 1,000 of forms. The Ganesh Museum Chiang Mai was established by Mr. Pundhorn Teerakanon, a Bangkokian who came to work in Chiang Mai. Influenced by the image of the elephant-headed Hindu god he received from his father when he was 19 years old, Pundhorn has been interested in Ganesh for over 30 years. Since then, he has been collecting the varieties of Ganesh images until in 2002 that he decided to buy 5 Rai land to build “the Ganesh Museum” which is aimed to be the learning center and a place of worship for those who have faith in Ganesh.
