Co-chaired by Thailand’s Minister of Tourism and Sports of Thailand Weerasak Kowsurat and Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Nguyen Hai Bang, the inauguration ceremony was attended by more than 300 overseas Vietnam in Thailand and Thai people.

The museum was built to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary activities from July, 1928 to end of 1929 in Phichit province. The museum, located 330 kilometres north of the capital Bangkok, displays numerous objects, memories and images of the Vietnamese leader. Addressing the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Bang expressed his hope that the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Phichit province would be an attractive site of the province and Thailand in general.
