Just a little north of Bangkok is the small town of Nonthaburi, where there is a nice, little local history, culture museum in a dilapidated municipal building. The museum is a nice contrast to all the big city, golden palace-like sites of the giant metropolis next door.
Old building, old museum. The structure is historic and architecturally significant. It's in the center of town, was once used as city hall and the building is made from local teak wood. The patina might be overwhelming the place. You can still see the regal bones, design.
Pick 'em if you got 'em. Nonthaburi was famous for productive orchards and a big diorama in the museum illustrates the related agricultural work.
Pottery was a big product of the town. Traditional designs are on display.
You think that pottery makes itself? Another impressive diorama, showing a little peek into the pottery process. A bunch of hauling and firing.
Aww, adorable end product, a clay squirrel. With fruit.
