I visited Phimai National Museum on 26 December 2023, but unfortunately it was closed for renovation. However, I was still able to admire the monument and stone sculptures that they placed outside for visitors to see while they are working on the interior. The museum has a fine collection of Khmer artefacts from various sites in northeastern Thailand, dating back to the 12th century¹. It is one of the biggest and best museums in Isan, and I hope to come back when it reopens. If you are interested in the history and culture of this region, I recommend you to check out this museum²
