Baan Dam Black House

Welcome to Baan Dam which means Black House in Chiang Rai. Mr. Thawan Dunchanee is the designer. It is made known to tourists that this is a museum. However, this is more like his play place filled with his assortment of artwork. It was intriguing at first....

 Entrance fee is 80 Baht per person

 Entering the main building. Okay, I thought. He is into wood carving. 

 Then came furniture

 Ohhh he is into crocodiles and horns too

 He is quite an artist

 More crocodile skins

 Honorable Lord Ganesh

 Walking into the grounds. Apparently, this "museum" has about 40 buildings on this huge land area.

 Toilet filled with penises. Hmmm....why?

 His childhood memories???

 Looks more like his work shops

 Hmmmmmmmmmmmm! I was starting to be confused. 

 More crocs? Getting boring....

 Vulgar

 Nice toilet building though

 Same old same old...

 Suddenly, a little temple in the middle of nowhere

 Wefie time

 Lord Ganesh again

 Weirdly, a UFO kinda building. Guess what is inside? CORRECT!!! Crocodile skins!!!

 Apparently this whale is Thawan Duchanee's bedroom when he visits his "museum"

At this point, I was ready to leave. I wanted coffee or a cold beer! This museum started off as mysterious but it was a little disturbing to me. Many buildings were blocked at the entrance so visitors could not go in but one is able to view the insides from the main door or windows. Mostly, these blocked buildings are filled with crocodile skins and furniture with horns. Boring!
