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.

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

The museum - can it really be considered as such? - is free so it is worthy a visit of maximum one hour. It's basically an area with 3 apartments still kept as it was around the 1930's a big garden. It belonged to a Thai lady which was married to an Indian doctor and then to a Chinese one; one of her daughters decided to make it a museum. Several ladies will try to explain you in bad English about the museum and keep picture of you for the Thai Government, strange! I wanted to donate some money but nobody asked me and I saw no place for it.
