A few days ago I went to Chatavee Museum and the Bird Park with my Thai friends and it was pretty fun. The museum showcased all kinds of things, from ancient living spaces to ancient rat traps (which were very well crafted). The Thais were very, very good with their hands, especially with wood. Many of the artifacts I viewed were handcrafted from wood and very well made.

Also, the bird park? Absolutely amazing. Some of the birds there were the size and weight of monkeys, hopping around as the wood creaked under their formidable weights. One bird was the last of its kind in Thailand, and no mate to keep the line going : (
