Located just 5 minutes by car from the training centre, the museum showcases a veritable collection of scale models of Asian seafaring vessels used for training, including an in-house recontruction of Bangkachai II shipwreck found near Chanthaburi coast. It also hosts a vast amount of maritime artefacts, including an open storage of ceramic artefacts seized from a treasure hunter in the Gulf of Thailand, providing a venue for practical ceramic investigation class.
