The museums located on the island of Phuket, stand witness and illustrate, the vastness of the history and culture that is immense on the Thai Island.  One museum is located by the Heroines Monument,  close to the airport and the five star hotel.  Phuket is close to the Thalang National Museum located on Viset Road in the town of Thalang.  The museum regularly has on exhibit artifacts of the cultures indigenous to the city.  There is craft-works from the South Thailand regions as well as the Vishnu sculpture dating back to the ninth century.  There are seminars that focus on the general history of the island, with a section describing the various cultures that have immigrated to the city, the Muslims, the Sea Gypsies, and the Chinese.    There are reproductions of the homes and villages that illustrate and provide understanding of the way people lived many years ago.

There is an entire section devoted to Lady Mook and Lady Jan,  the ‘Heroines of Phuket’  These two women inspired the people of the city in their war, and consequent defeat in 1785 against the Burmese invasions.  These two women are respected and honored throughout the country of Thailand, but no more so than in their homelands of Thalang and Phuket.  Schools, temples and roads are named of them throughout.  This is one of the many museums that exhibit and preserve the culture and the incredible heritage of this country.  Modernization and industrialization has influenced the culture greatly, but has not wiped it out.  More importantly, the modern world has served to further enhance that from which these people and this country have come from and still hold precious and dear.  This is most certainly one of the most interesting and educational of attractions when sightseeing throughout Thailand and the island of Phuket.
