The Aids Temple and Life Museum - Wat Prabat Namphu

July 30, 2550 - On the last day of the bike trip with Yui's family to Lop Buri we visited the "Aids Temple" outside the city to bring offerings to a monk who is devoting his time to Thailand's HIV/Aids sufferers. We visited some of the patients and saw the "Life Museum" that is one of the more disturbing and enlightening places I have ever seen. for more info on this place please go to www.aidstemple.th.org

@Solomindada go to Lopburi, 150 kms north of Bangkok. The temple is just 3-4 kms off the city centre. Wat Phra Bat Nam Pu - Khao Sam Yot, Muang Lopburi, Lopburi 15000, Thailand

I have worked in HIV for more than 10 years in Thailand and there is nothing educational about this 'museum', it is ghoulish and unethical. It does nothing to change peoples behaviour and those who are 'displayed' never gave consent. Treatment has saved people's life unmistakable however it is now time to help people rebuild their lives not continue to treat them as patients. I know this place well and know it also wastes millions of baht each year, money better spent on treatment programs.

Say, if we are supposed to have a trip to Thailand, how to reach this museum.

Can anybody help to guide with directions, pls..?

Thanks..!

I was there in 2006

It is sad but most AIDS victims are kicked out of their village because others are scared to be infected ..
