Phuket Philatelic Museum or
Phuket Post Office Museum was Phuket's first post and telegraphic office and is situated on Montri Road in Phuket. The office has been remodeled and overhauled into a philatelic historical center, showing old postal gear, old telephones and old Thai stamps. A decent place to take the children and find out about Thailand's Postal Service history and have an unwinding day doing as such.
