Though situated less than 20 kilometres from the Chiang Mai city, the Ban Buak Kang village and its museum are perfectly surrounded by traditional northern Thai farm lifestyles. Along a narrow road leading to the Baan Jang Nak museum, visitors are still able to observe the farmer lifestyle while their cattle are grazing near the road passing through the village. An entrance has been creatively shaped into a concrete elephant form while gigantic elephants and sculptures are exhibited in front of the museum built in theThai Lanna style.
