清萊私人博物館遊記

Chiang Rai Private Museum Travelogue

近日清萊陰雨連綿，難得的室內活動成了我們的首選。偶然在 Google Maps 上發現了一家神秘的私人博物館，雖然沒有任何網站或詳細資料介紹，但371個評價中高達4.6星的好評，讓我們決定冒雨前往一探究竟。門票為每人 THB 300，包括一位英語流利的嚮導陪同解說，整個過程大約1小時，個人認為十分值回票價。

With constant rain in Chiang Rai recently, indoor activities have become our go-to option. We stumbled upon a mysterious private museum on Google Maps. Although it lacked any official website or detailed information, its 4.6-star rating from 371 reviews convinced us to visit despite the rain. The entry fee is THB 300 per person, which includes a guided tour by an English-speaking guide lasting about an hour. We found it to be well worth the price.

 

 

當時我和老公以為這個牌子是關館的意思，誰知只是說明入場費用THB 300/人，以及每天的開放時間

My husband and I initially thought the sign indicated the museum was closed, but it turned out to simply display the entrance fee of THB 300 per person and the daily opening hours.

 

進去第一時間就是看到室外花園有很多不同的神像或是裝飾品，再進去是售票處，再進去才是博物館

Upon entering, we first saw an outdoor garden filled with various statues and decorations. Moving further, we reached the ticket office, and beyond that, the actual museum.

 

神秘館主的背景

The Mysterious Owner's Background

走進博物館，首先吸引我們注意的是館主的照片，嚮導特別提到他是一位皇室成員，並且至今仍健在。這種低調又神秘的背景，讓整個參觀過程更添一分奇幻色彩。館內的收藏極其豐富，據說全是館主多年來在世界各地搜羅而來的珍寶。然而，這些藏品大多沒有標註來源，讓人忍不住猜測其背後的故事——是否涉及私下交易或秘密途徑獲得，成為了我們津津樂道的話題。

Upon entering the museum, the owner’s photograph caught our attention. The guide mentioned that he is a member of the royal family and is still alive. This low-profile yet mysterious background added a sense of intrigue to our visit. The museum boasts an extensive collection, reportedly acquired by the owner over decades from various parts of the world. However, most items lack any indication of their origin, leaving us to speculate whether private transactions or secretive channels were involved—a topic that fascinated us throughout the tour.

 

 

他的收藏品中有很多這類型的銀飾，在古代黃金是非常罕有的東西，一般貴族或皇族才可擁有銀器。
Among his collections are many such silverware items. In ancient times, gold was extremely rare, and silverware was typically owned only by nobles or royals.

 

銅製的鼓，據說明所描述有3000年的歷史。
There is also a bronze drum, which the description claims to be 3,000 years old.

 

古代皇族的罕有照片，從前東南亞一帶有很多不同的皇族。
Rare photographs of ancient royals are also on display, showcasing the various royal families that once existed in Southeast Asia.

應該是祭祀才會用到的銀製皇室器皿。
These silver royal utensils were likely used for rituals.

 

 

 

金屬製的神龕，裡面的神像早已不知所蹤。
A metal shrine is also featured, though the statue it once housed has long since disappeared.

這上面的文字已無人能懂，看圖片應該是介紹當地的歷史？
The text on this item is indecipherable now, but from the images, it seems to depict local history.

 

有一些不知年代的古代錢幣。
There are also ancient coins of unknown age.

 

館主的神像收藏，不同風格的佛像。
The museum houses a diverse collection of Buddha statues in various styles.

 

 

最上面那個佛像有神龕，而佛像的手部是由大理石製成的，在古代是十分珍貴。
The topmost Buddha statue is enclosed in a shrine, and its hands are made of marble, which was considered extremely valuable in ancient times.

 

古代貴族織物的瑰麗魅力

The Splendor of Ancient Noble Textiles

館內最令人驚艷的部分是古代貴族服飾的收藏。這些織物的保存完整程度令人難以置信，尤其考慮到布料容易發霉和破損的特性。一件鑲有翠綠色亮片的貴族服飾最為特別，竟然是由一種珍稀蟲子的外殼製成，表面凹凸不平，展現了極高的工藝水準。這樣的藏品不僅珍貴，還蘊含了深厚的文化與歷史意義。

One of the most stunning sections of the museum is the collection of ancient noble textiles. Their state of preservation is astonishing, especially given the susceptibility of fabrics to mold and damage. A particularly striking garment adorned with emerald-green sequins stands out. Remarkably, the sequins are made from the shells of a rare insect, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship. Such artifacts are not only precious but also carry deep cultural and historical significance.

 

這件鑲有翠綠色亮片的皇帝/貴族華服，有120年歷史。
This emerald-sequined royal/noble garment is 120 years old.

 

 

金絲織成的皇族華服，至少有200年歷史。
The royal attire woven with gold threads is at least 200 years old.

 

佛教文物與祭祀器具

Buddhist Artifacts and Ritual Utensils

館內的佛教文物雖不多，但精緻程度不容小覷。一些高僧的舍利子、小型佛像，以及古代皇室祭祀用的銀飾、壺、碗等器具，也讓人大開眼界。每一件藏品都仿佛述說著古代祭祀儀式的神秘與莊嚴，讓人不禁對過往的歷史與信仰心生敬意。
Although the museum’s collection of Buddhist artifacts is not extensive, its exquisite craftsmanship is remarkable. Items such as relics of high monks, miniature Buddha statues, and royal ritual silverware—including bowls, pots, and utensils—are awe-inspiring. Each artifact seems to tell the story of ancient ritualistic mystery and solemnity, evoking profound respect for history and faith.

 

 

 

 

還是第一次看到這種穿著的佛像

It was the first time we had seen a Buddha statue dressed in such attire.

 

頭頂的寶石早已被盜去，取而代之的是修復後的塑膠寶石，這個佛像的面容及手部也是用古代珍貴的純白大理石製成，衣物是也鑲嵌了不少寶石，很少有機會這麼近觀察古董佛像。

The gems on its head had been stolen and replaced with plastic ones during restoration. The statue’s face and hands are made of rare, pure white marble, and its attire is embedded with numerous gemstones. It’s rare to have such an up-close look at an antique Buddha statue.

 

 

這兩個玻璃上面是精工製成的超小型佛像，比尾指指甲還要小，解說員不說還真看不見。

Inside these two glass cases are meticulously crafted miniature Buddha statues, smaller than a pinky fingernail. Without the guide pointing them out, they would have been almost impossible to notice.

 

很難想像從前沒有放大鏡的幫助下到底如何製成？
It’s hard to imagine how such intricate work was done without the aid of magnifying glasses in the past.

 

這些應該都是祭祀用的工具。
These items are most likely tools used in rituals.

 

精緻的皇室珍藏與故事

Exquisite Royal Treasures and Tales

除了衣物，博物館內還有皇帝專用的巨大床榻、私子（臥榻）、神龕等大型收藏品。解說員特別提到，這些木製家具之所以得以保存，是因為古時常有戰亂，工匠會將這些珍貴器物拆卸後埋藏在地洞或山洞中，待和平後再重新組裝，讓人不禁讚歎古代人的智慧與心思。

Beyond garments, the museum also houses large royal items such as emperor-exclusive beds, daybeds, and shrines. The guide explained that these wooden pieces survived because ancient craftsmen would disassemble and bury them in underground chambers or caves during wartime, reassembling them in peacetime. This ingenuity and foresight left us in awe of ancient wisdom and effort.

 

 

皇帝的床，從床的大小程度可以看到從前的人身高大約只有130-150mm左右。
The emperor’s bed gives us a glimpse into the stature of people from the past, estimated to be around 130–150 cm tall.

 

這是有地位的高僧的座位，通常會在法會活動上使用，也是可以拆卸的。
This seat belonged to a high-ranking monk and was often used in religious ceremonies. It’s also designed to be disassembled.

 

珍貴的皇族相片。
Rare royal family photographs are displayed here.

 

保護動物法例成立後，很少看到真正的虎牙。
Since the establishment of animal protection laws, genuine tiger fangs like these have become increasingly rare.

2004年國際青年小姐冠軍所穿著的泰服，可以看到手工非常精細。
The Thai dress worn by the 2004 Miss International Youth Champion showcases incredibly intricate craftsmanship.

 

這應該是比較近代的衣服，可見館主對織物衣服古董情有獨鐘。
This seems to be a more modern piece, highlighting the owner’s passion for textile and clothing antiques.

 

藏品與中國的聯繫

Connections Between the Collection and China

參觀途中，我們注意到館主曾多次到訪中國的照片。解說員提到，中國是館主收藏的重要來源之一，特別是那些精美的祭祀器具和皇室物品。這讓我聯想到，中國古物市場的龐大與豐富，或許是促成館主收藏規模的重要原因。

During the visit, we noticed photos of the owner visiting China multiple times. The guide mentioned that China is a significant source of his collection, particularly the exquisite ritual artifacts and royal items. This made me reflect on the vast and rich Chinese antique market, which likely contributed to the impressive scale of his collection.

 

 

 

這個皇帝上朝用的椅子差不多有2-3米高，應該是古時規模比較大的皇族所擁有。
This throne, approximately 2–3 meters tall, likely belonged to a significant royal family in ancient times.

 

 

這張床是館主的睡床。
This bed is the owner’s personal sleeping bed.

 

上面的被子手工非常精細。
The quilt on it features exceptionally fine craftsmanship.

 

這個內有乾坤的書櫃應該是歐洲的物件，因為上面有小丑/樂師的木雕。
This secret-compartment bookshelf seems to be of European origin, as it is adorned with carvings of jesters and musicians.

 

最後來到了一個人造山洞，模仿古時候因逃避戰亂而收藏的藏寶處。
Finally, we reached an artificial cave designed to mimic the treasure hiding places used during times of war.
