Well at last there is a sign telling you what the mysterious building is, they are now making major landscaping work in front and that will be a better landmark. As Jamie mentions this road is very quiet except at 8am when everyone is taking their children to the British International School. The road is in need of repair and drivers should take care on this winding road. All said I hope this museum is a success as Phuket has little in the way of historic tourist attractions, but it will need good advertising as there is little in the way of ‘passing trade’. One tip – take a picnic and drive on to the lake near BIS for a peaceful location.

Museum construction was completed but the place was deserted. I like it though and the curator was a nice devoted lady. Yes make a few rounds before we could find it.

Was planning to take another look soon to see if it was finished. Went there well over a year ago and took a brochure. Last time I drove up that road the front gate was shut. The road is so quiet and rarely used except by locals looking for a shortcut or by BIS parents! Well, now will go again and see what there is to see!
