The Royal Thai Air Force Museum is a specialized military aviation facility located adjacent to Don Mueang International Airport. The collection features a diverse range of aircraft, including rare pre-World War II models, jet fighters, and indigenous Thai-designed planes. Exhibits are spread across multiple hangars and an expansive outdoor tarmac area. Visitors can view historical aviation equipment, including engine components and early navigational tools. The museum focuses on the history of the Thai air forces from their origins in the early 20th century to the modern era. It is one of the few places worldwide where visitors can see the O2U-2 Corsair and the Curtiss Hawk 75N. The site maintains a significant focus on preserving local engineering history and royal aeronautical involvement.
