 Phuket
Rare Stones Musuem
|
 You
see art. You see life. Located at 58/34 Thepkasatree Rd., Km.5 (about
700 meters from Super Cheap Store), It is a new tourists ' attraction
where you see art, and you see life.
The most enjoyable part of visiting the Phuket Rare Stones Museum
is that after the brief look at all stones, you select 5-6 your
most interesting ones. Spending 5-10 minutes with each of the selected
stones, the picture will be floated out from the stones as you imagine.
Each stone can conjure up a different picture in each person's
imagination. That is the art part. The deeper you imagine, the more
you will see, and that can be the life part.
Open everyday 09:00-18:00 hrs.
Admission Fees : Adult 200 Baht, Child 100 Baht.
