This is a fascinating place holding many memories of Uncle Ho who lived here from 1925 to 1930 ( not from 1928 as shown in the translation). The two-bedroom house and Ho’s desk and chair are authentic, and there are many other household items including an ancient radio.There is no charge, but there are two donation boxes and visitors should make a donation as there appears to be no official support for this museum ( unlike the other one nearby built with lavish support from the Vietnamese government).The very friendly lady who lives here is a Thai of Vietnamese origin who spent a few months in Melbourne, Australia with relatives who live there. There are about 150 Vietnamese-origin families in this village and some have been here since the time of King Rama III (1825-1851). There is a noodle restaurant not far away in front of the other museum. The address is 48/5 Baan Na Jok, phone numbers 042 522 430 and 088 548 9549, and they are on facebook. To get there, take the highway leading west towards Sakorn Nakorn and turn left next to the Makro store. I went by songthaew on a 4-hour trip that included the Aquarium and bridge all for B500.
A lovely building for friendship for the Thai-Vietnamese friendship and fellowship. Quite a moving visit, especially if one takes time out to pause, think, and reflect. Peasceful
If you’re a history buff and are in Nakon Phanom, you might want to check out this reconstruction of the hut that Ho lived in on and off for a while, from the 1920s to the early 30s, while he was organizing Vietnamese in Siam to resist the cruel French colonialists. But don’t expect to get any enlightening information. It’s basically knick-knacks and some photocopies on the wall. No staff to elucidate anything. And, contrary to another review here, Ho Chi Minh was most assuredly NOT the “ex-president of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” when he stayed at this place. No such country existed until 1976, after the “communists” won the war and reunified Vietnam. Ho officially became the leader of North Vietnam on September 2, 1945, following the defeat of Hirohito’s rapacious forces, and it wasn’t until the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 that he really became president of the north.
Beautiful landscape and new concrete buildings replicating “Chinese style” buildings. Having a small theater showing a short 15 minute video telling about Hồ Chí Minh’s life ( in English & Thai) would be more interesting than exhibiting a wall of b&w photographs; for, he did live an interesting life that most people are not aware of. Not worth a special trip unless you have plenty of time . The small Mekong River Aquarium is nearby( 30 baht only) which can be a included in your day’s excursion in this area.
The Vietnamese style architecture was built in 2014-2016 in honour of Ho Chi Minh, the former president of Vietnam, that used to stay in this region in the late 1920s.The entrance gate is a combination of Thai and Vietnamese style with colorful bas-relief of golden shower tree and lotus flower which represent national flowers of Thailand and Vietnam respectively. Then, visitor may cross a pool bridge to the Vietnamese shrine to pay respect to Ho Chi Minh statue. There’s also a small replica of a mountain near this shrine. In the next building, there is a museum that collects the history of the path of Ho Chi Minh’s fight to regain independence from France. Also, there is a wax model of young Ho Chi Minh meeting the villagers. Finally, visitor can rent Ao Dai, Vietnamese traditional dress, and buy some OTOP products at the souvenir shop. This place has no entrance fee. However, you can donate some money to maintain the place.Last but not least, don’t forget to have a traditional Vietnamese meal at “Najok homestay” nearby (advance reservation required). Very Delicious!
