【Internship Site Introduction】The Golden Jubilee Museum of Agriculture (Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Thailand)
Located in Pathum Thani Province, Thailand, the The Golden Jubilee Museum of Agriculture was established by the Ministry of
Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand to commemorate His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX) and to promote the
philosophy of the Sufficiency Economy. The museum integrates traditional Buddhist principles with concepts of harmonious coexistence
with nature, serving as a leading center for environmental and agricultural education in Thailand.
The outdoor exhibition area features demonstration farms and ecological learning zones, including the renowned “One Rai, One
Million Baht” model farm, which showcases sustainable agricultural practices and self-reliant livelihoods. Indoors, the museum
employs advanced educational technologies such as 3D and 7D animation theaters, as well as 360-degree interactive projection
systems, to transform topics including sustainable agriculture, organic farming, soil and water conservation, and biodiversity conservation
into engaging and immersive learning experiences.
The museum has achieved significant recognition through its innovative educational initiatives. In addition to introducing immersive
technology-based learning programs, it promotes inclusive participation through the Museum for All initiative, which supports equal
access for persons with disabilities. Furthermore, the museum coordinates the Plant Genetic Conservation Project, connecting 105
network centers throughout Thailand to strengthen biodiversity conservation and environmental stewardship.
A wide range of educational programs is offered on a regular basis, including group learning activities, intensive training courses, free
public workshops, and overnight family camps. As a result, the museum has become an important gateway for international participants
seeking to understand Thailand’s sustainability philosophy, environmental education practices, and cultural heritage.
