Established by the Institute for Southern Thai Studies in 1991, this unusually good museum, set in an attractive series of Thai sala-type buildings, features a library (mainly in Thai) on southern Thai culture, and a well-documented series of exhibits on southern culture including nang talung shadow puppets, musical instruments, textiles, basketry, household artifacts, fishing equipment, jewellery and weapons. There is also a suan yaa samunprai or natural herb and medicinal garden in the well-tended grounds
