Tourist attraction in Pathum Thani Province: ‘The Lotus Museum’

Situated within Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi’s campus, the Lotus museum was founded in 2000 as part of Princess MahaChakriSirindhorn’s project to collect Thai, foreign and hybrid lotus species. Its objectives are to study the lotus plant and find practical applications and uses for different parts of the plant. The museum also contains a lotus botanical garden, dedicated to the preservation and propagation of the beautiful flower. Initially only 40 species were collected but right now the 18-Rai area is filled with hundreds of lotus species including the sacred lotus (Bua Luang), the tropical day blooming water lily (Bua Phan), the tropical night blooming water lily (Bua Sai), the hardy water lily (Bua Farang), the Victoria water lily (Bua Kradong) and rare Siamese water lilies.

The museum is open every day, from 8:30 am-4.30 pm. Admission is free.
