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.

🏛 *Worship Building* – The original main hall, now a sacred space for prayers, featuring *exquisitely carved wooden statues* of Ganesha and his family.
🛕 *Wate Wittayakom Building* – A traditional Thai Sala used for ceremonies, especially during **Ganesh Chaturthi**.
🙏 *Ganesh Dhevalai* – A temple built with **prayer-inscribed bricks**, designed to resemble **Gana Pati (Ganesha’s divine realm)**.
🏛 *Halls 1 & 2* – Showcasing *Hindu-Bali architecture* and a stunning collection of Ganesha statues from across **Southeast Asia**.
