History of RTAF Museum

The Royal Thai Air Force museum was set up in 1952 with the purpose of collecting and restoring defense articles of different periods including equipments and aircraft in use during the early period of Thai aviation history up to the present.

The RTAF museum was first located at a hangar west of Don Muang airfield but not yet opened to the public then.

 

 

The present museum was constructed on March 26, 1968, and was completed on November 15, 1968 at a total cost of 6,635,000 Bahts. The Royal Thai Air Force museum was officially opened to the public on January 24, 1969.

The exhibits at the Royal Thai Air Force museum feature many types of aircraft rarely found anywhere else in the world. Many of them were in service during the war and played a vital role during anti-communism campaign.

The numerous Victory Medals awarded to the RTAF pilots attest to the bravery and valour of our heroes. The Royal Thai Air Force has tried to develolp its museum to ensure that it has complete historical records of the Royal Thai Air Force.
