What is the Maha Wirawong National Museum in Korat?
The Maha Wirawong National Museum (พิพิธภัณฑสถานแห่งชาติมหาวีรวงศ์) in Nakhon Ratchasima houses archaeological finds from across the northeast including Khmer-period artifacts, prehistoric pottery, historical weaponry, and Buddha images. It’s one of the northeast’s most important regional museums.

The museum is housed in a classic Thai-style building within the grounds of Wat Sutchinda near the moat in old Korat city. Opening hours are Wednesday–Sunday, 9 AM–4 PM. Entry: 30 THB for foreigners, 10 THB for Thais.
What Khmer artifacts are in the Maha Wirawong Museum?
The museum displays Khmer-era lintels, sandstone sculptures, and religious artifacts excavated from Korat province’s many Khmer temples — particularly Phimai, Phanom Wan, and surrounding sites. These give important context for visiting the actual temple ruins.
Is the Maha Wirawong Museum worth visiting?
Yes for history enthusiasts — the collection is genuinely impressive and well-curated. Combined with a visit to Phimai (60 km north) and a walk around old Korat’s moat, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the region’s 1,500 years of Khmer and Thai history.
