Ban Sao Roi Ton ‘Learn about the historical art with family.’
Letting children learn about history is good for both their brains and minds. Things in the past may be gone, but it’s definitely not lost. By learning about them, we can use our knowledge to build better future for ourselves.
Here we’re talking about ‘Ban Sao Roi Ron’. This place is full of what you and your children can learn about.
Ban Sao Roi Ton, or Ban Pra Tab Jai, is a kind of traditional museum. It’s a Thai traditional house made of authentic teakwood, built in the year 1976 b y Father Kijja. Father Kijja wanted a teakwood house as his own residence. Therefore he bought 9 old houses from villagers and combined them into one large house.
The name ‘Sao Roi Ton’ can be translated into English as ‘hundred poles’. Yes. This house consists of over hundred poles. Each pole is over 300 years old and carved neatly.
