Wat Phu Nam Ron lies near the provincial border with Kanchanaburi Province along Highway 3086. It displays a good selection of prehistoric metal items and pottery recovered from ancient monuments from the Dvaravati Period. The museum also celebrates a particular ethic group that settled in the area known as the Lawa. The Lawa originate from north Thailand around the border with Laos. They are good metalworkers and weavers which explain the large finds of iron implements found in the area while fabrics are still produced in the temple compound. The museum opened in 2012 with the aid of the Fine Arts Department who catalogued a quantity of objects hitherto kept by a monk.
