【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.

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,
