Welcome back to the channel! In this video, @kimberleyssandbox and I visited the incredible *Ganesh Museum in Chiang Mai—the first and only museum in Thailand dedicated entirely to Lord Ganesha, the Hindu deity of wisdom, success, and good fortune. With over 1,000 unique statues and artifacts, this place is a treasure trove for culture lovers and spiritual seekers alike!

* About the Ganesh Museum

📍 Location:* Moo 10, 35th kilometer stone of Chiang Mai-Hod Road, Yang Kram Sub-district, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai

Founded by *Mr. Pundhorn Teerakanon*, a devoted collector for over 30 years, this museum was born from his lifelong passion for Ganesha. What started as a personal collection grew into a *sacred learning center and worship site, officially opening in 2002.
