Benyaran Museum

I decided to write a review about visiting the Benyaran Museum in Phuket or a modern look at the Thai mess!!!
What can I say, comrades… I visited this "museum", if you can call it that. No, I didn't make a mistake in the quotes! This is not a museum, but some kind of giant warehouse of madness, assembled by the former Minister of War, who, apparently, did not know where to put their "collected".
What's inside? - Yes, that's it! From ancient Buddhist statues to rusty pots, from expensive antique cabinets to a mountain of junk piled in a corner of the hangar, as in a landfill during perestroika. The exhibits are scattered as if they were collected in the dark and then forgotten why.
Is the entrance paid? Yes, but this is Thailand! You can bargain like in a bazaar for bananas. "300 baht? Yes, I'll get in for 200!" And they let me in! Without a ticket, without a check, it's a solid shadow economy, but with a smile. Real Thai bullshit in action.
How much time is needed? A whole day is not enough. Because half the time you'll be walking in circles trying to figure out if it's an exhibit or if they just forgot to throw it away.
Bottom line: A strange but fascinating place. It was as if I had been inside the head of a maniac collector who dragged home everything that was badly stored. It's hard for a modern person to understand this — at least we had order in our museums! But if you want adventure and chaos, welcome.
Rating: 3 stars
P.S. If you decide, take a Thai Rum SangSom with you. For courage and correct perception of this absurdity!

You can visit, but it will be interesting only with a guide. There are a huge number of exhibits, several exhibition halls, but it is impossible to figure it out on your own.

It takes more than 2 hours to drive from Phuket from Kata beach. It's beautiful but not worth your time. To leave at 5:40 and return after all at 20:00, well, no
