The Lanta Royal Navy Ship Museum is located along the shoreline of Koh Lanta Yai in Krabi Province. It is an open-air museum that features a real decommissioned Royal Thai Navy warship, formerly in active service, now preserved on land as a center for learning about Thailand’s naval and maritime history.

The warship stands proudly facing the Andaman Sea, placed on a large concrete platform. Informational signage nearby provides background on the ship’s missions and its role in the country's maritime security. Many of the ship’s original structures are well preserved, including the radar tower, command deck, navigation bridge, and replica naval guns — making it a fascinating site for visitors.

The surrounding area has been developed into a peaceful public space with a promenade, seaside seating, and a viewpoint perfect for watching sunsets. It offers a unique educational opportunity for children and youth, giving them firsthand exposure to naval engineering and national defense.

Occasionally, the museum hosts special exhibitions or educational events in collaboration with the Royal Thai Navy or local schools, promoting patriotism and awareness of maritime importance.

Beyond its educational value, the museum is also a highly photogenic location. Tourists love capturing the ship’s majestic form with the sea as a backdrop, especially from elevated viewpoints or directly in front of the bow.

This attraction is not only ideal for history buffs or military enthusiasts but also for couples, families, photographers, and anyone looking for a unique spot on Lanta Island.
