Phuket Sea Shell Museum
 Perhaps
the world's most valuable collection of seashells has been
put on display at Phuket Seashell near Rawai Beach on the
island's southwestern shores. The emphasis is on shells
from Phuket and Thai waters, which are among the most
sought-after by collectors, however shells from every part
of the world are featured. Wherever they originate, each
shell in the Shell Museum is the best of its type--very
often the only of its type. Displays have been created in
a logical order, and visitors can see at once differing
characteristics among related species. There are numerous
rarities and freaks including the world's largest golden
pearl (140 karats), large sections of sedimentary rock
containing shell fossils that represent the earth's
earliest life-forms, and a shell that weighs 250
kilograms. One of the world's great private museums, the
Shell Museum is open daily from 8:00 a.m. till 7:00 p.m.

Phuket Rare Stones
Museum
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. |
