Million Toy Museum

4.3(954 reviews)

Tucked along Uthong Road in the heart of Ayutthaya's historic district, this independently run museum houses an impressive collection of toys spanning multiple decades and countries, displayed across two floors of glass cabinets. It offers a genuinely different experience from the ancient temples and palace ruins that dominate the region, appealing to collectors, nostalgia seekers, and curious travellers alike. Visitors frequently describe it as stepping into someone else's childhood treasure trove, with items ranging from mid-century rarities to recognisable 1990s favourites. The atmosphere is clean, well-maintained, and charmingly idiosyncratic — the collection follows no strict organisational logic, which adds to its character rather than detracting from it. A gift shop on site sells illustrated books and artworks, making it worth browsing even after the exhibits. The museum is compact enough to explore comfortably in under half an hour, yet dense enough to reward those who slow down and look closely at individual pieces. Good to know: Admission is 100 Baht for foreign visitors and 50 Baht for Thai nationals. Opening hours are not listed online, so it is advisable to check locally or enquire in advance before making a special trip. The museum sits conveniently on Uthong Road, the main artery connecting many of Ayutthaya's key historical sites, making it an easy addition to a full day of temple-hopping without requiring significant detours.

Visitor Reviews

If you want a quirky, unique alternative to ancient ruins, this place is a great stop. Clean, well maintained, and filled with toys from various countries and decades. I didn't count, but I'm taking them on their word that there's a million of them. Some of the cases have an almost hypnotic quality to them due to their arrangement. There's also a section of non toys filled with antique dishes and knick knacks, which I didn't pay too much attention to since, well, I paid to see toys 😄 The grounds outside are nice and peaceful, and it was entertaining to watch the roosters that are running around freely.

What a wonderful museum! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Visiting this museum is like looking at someone else's childhood treasure trove. The gift shop sells beautiful illustrations and books drawn by the museum's creator.

Lots of memories if you are 90’s 🤣

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
