Over the last 25 years Arjan Rampad Kothkaew designed and buld many museums in Thailand. Many museums either dedicated to Abbots or museums celebrating and sharing the culture of a particular region where created with the direct support and influence of Arjan Rampad. In fact Monfai itself can be seen as a Living Museum. It incorporates the architecture of 5 regions that make up the Lanna kingdom. Monfai is build from mostly salvaged timber and will take you back 200 years.
