Bangkokian Museum

There are altogether 3 houses here. One of them was transferred from another location, originally belonged to a doctor related to the family. The facility is managed by government after the owner donated the property and maintained as museum. Nice little museum to have a flash back of early life during the 1940s to 50s. Remind me of my grandparents modest timber house in some detailing.

I stumbled upon The Bangkokian Museum after getting lost in the city, and it turned out to be a fortunate discovery. The volunteers at the museum were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Some of them spoke English fluently and were eager to answer any questions about the history within the home. It was a truly enriching experience, and I am grateful to have visited. Highly recommend this gem of a museum!

I have only positive things to say about this place. The volunteers at the museum are very kind and are able to explain the history of the place in English. Lots of very well preserved vintage everyday items you can see up close and personal. The owner of the place donated it to the public, and sadly has passed away 7 years ago, so the volunteers told me. She had no one to pass it on to. She had pets that won awards, which is adorable, their photos displayed on a drawer in the second building. The whole places consists of 3 buildings. One is the main house, second was used as a doctor’s office, by the father of the past owner. And the third building was first, apartments that were rented out, but then turned into a kitchen. If you are in Bangkok, this is a place you can visit, its free and its great to see how the people in the past went about their simple daily life.

A very interesting place. The museum is the former residential buildings of middle-income Thais. It is interesting to study the history of an entire family through such an exhibition. See how ordinary people lived literally 30-40 years ago. Special mention should be made of the amazing female volunteers. This is something worth going for. Stunning women.

A lovely little museum of everyday life. Middle-class houses with possessions of the family that left their property to be turned into a place that welcomes everyone interested in what life in Bangkok (and especially the Bangrak area) used to be like. Big part of the exhibition is in Thai only, which was a shame since I would have very much enjoyed knowing more about the urban development of the area, however overall impression it left on me is one of appreciation and interest to explore more. Ladies who volunteer at this place are really welcoming and nice, one of them makes these beautiful ephemeral flowers in her free time, there are also some little items available for purchase such as bracelets, totally optional of course and there is not a single trace of push towards buying anything (although I strongly recommend it).

Very well preserved mansion, with peaceful nearby hood. Seperated into 3 buildings each building has a lady guide well fluent in English. No admission fee required, do pay a visit if you happen to be around that area. They even have a public library inside.

Superb should be on the top of everyone’s list and no entry free?! My only suggestion is they open a cute little cafe/tea room perhaps some traditional period items for sale to enjoy similar to the period of the three houses - lovely staff - a must see!

Very beautiful and wellaintained. Also good staff very friendly who take you around and explain. Very calm area and good to learn about Thai history. Also free.
