About

Khorat Fossil Museum brings petrified wood, ancient elephants and dinosaurs together at Ban Krok Duean Ha in Suranari. Inside, fossil specimens and models turn the region's prehistoric finds into a visit that works for curious children and adults alike. The wood collection is especially rewarding up close, with different forms and colours that reveal trees transformed over time. Continue outside to the petrified forest, excavation area and dinosaur models. It is a natural-history outing with plenty to compare, from small wood details to the scale of long-vanished animals.
