Bangkokian Museum

Fantastic place to learn about the history of Bang Rak and Thailand in general. The museum consists of three beautiful houses set in a peaceful garden, each showcasing different aspects of traditional Bangkokian life in the mid-20th century. The keepers at each house are incredibly kind and welcoming. They go out of their way to explain the background of each building and the history of the items on display. The site features three beautifully preserved houses. One highlights the lifestyle of the original family, while others include interesting exhibits like a former medical practice and historical items from the World War II era. Entry is free, though it is highly advisable to leave a donation to help with the maintenance and preservation of these heritage buildings.

This is a great little place to travel back in time for a moment. The house itself is beautiful and remarkably well-preserved for a home built almost 100 years ago, filled with many artifacts from the era. I especially loved the volunteer 'aunties' who went out of their way to teach us about the house and the family's history. The whole tour only took about 25 minutes and it was completely free, which is an amazing act of kindness from the family to open their home to the public. Highly recommended!

Such a special experience being welcomed into someone's family home from decades past, so much history and stories and love in this space. Still now the love and pride with this space shown by the thai people and the volunteers is very sweet. What a gorgeous experience and beautiful home
