There was a lot of convenient information, about diseases caused by mosquitoes, about insect plagues. There was art work and there were poems, all very inspiring. Not everything was focused on insects, there was some art focused on the abuse of elephants, there were some bats and birds, the second floor had a lot of rocks and shells. There is a lot to read, I would spend at least an hour there. Maybe kids can't concentrate for too long but there are a lot of insects to see so it would still be fun for them. There is a little gift shop, I bought a little bag to keep my money in. The place felt authentic and exclusive and I walked oit with another view on insects and the world. Visitors are not allowed to take pictures on the second floor.

Being a professional entomologist specialising in southeast Asian bugs, I couldn't visit Chiang Mai without checking the place everyone had asked me about. So here we go. This Thai couple dedicated their life studying insects and it shows. The exhibit takes place in their house and displays tens of thousands of specimens of insects, other arthropods and small vertebrates collected or purchased from all over the world over decades. The sheer numbers are impressive for a private collection. But. It appears the place was frozen in time a decade ago. Lots of specimens are in bad state, few have collection data, there's very little information, everything is mixed up, even mixing orders, families, continents. If you're a professional, you'll get upset. If you're an amateur, you won't learn a thing. If you just want to show bugs to your kids, it may work to impress them with giant insects and lots of diversity. While I have a lot of respect for the tens of thousands of hours of work to build the collection, I just can't get over the fact that this is a capharnaüm of specimens and such a missed opportunity to educate people by displaying correct information and sorting specimens according to taxonomy and countries.

So cool to see the passion of someone's life! An eclectic, entertainingly curated collection of creepy crawlies of all shapes and sizes. Learn more about the much-maligned mosquito, see giant paper sculpted wasp nests and a collection of rocks and oddities collected more from the heart than the head. No air conditioning, so time your visit. It does smell (understandably) of paradichlorobenzine. I loved it - so happy I got a chance to visit this little gem of a private collection. And don't worry - nothing is moving here!

If you can't find the beauty in insect then maybe you can in the various collections from fossils, nest, nature items, and art. Take a minute to appreciate a single mans' collection and see the beauty from his eyes. Worth the stop and not expensive.
