Royal Thai Air Force Museum
It’s official name is National Aviation Museum of the Royal Thai Air Force, located out near Don Muang Airport, this is a very fine Aviation museum with over 100 aircraft that have all served in the Royal Thai Air Force. Both planes and helicopters, with mainly American aircraft but also planes from Sweden, Spain, Russia and some vintage aircraft that were made in Thailand.
