Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi ‘Museum’
If one is interested in knowing more about the former governor, visiting Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi Museum would prove good for an insightful experience; moreover the museum is just 28 minutes away from Trang Municipal Park. The two storied wood museum was Phraya’s residence and today his entire legacy can be witnessed closely within the walls of this building. In addition to collection of all his personal items, photographs and furniture which convey a history of the past 100 years, the museum also has a real life like wax image of Phraya which is seated on his favorite rocking chair. The place is managed by Phraya’s descendants- the Na Ranong family and though guide services are also available yet one need to book in advance to avail them. The fact that the brochure available at the museum presents a brief history about Phraya is certainly an add-on.
