Bangkokian Museum

Staffed by volunteers, free entry. Very beautiful gardens and three houses to check out. The third one is air-conditioned, so if you need a break, that is a great place to stop. If you like museums and enjoy seeing technology, history, architectural history, and how life used to be, it is a great place to visit. If you are middle-aged like me, you will probably see a lot of things that are close to your childhood, from your childhood, or at least the predecessor of something you grew up with. Really glad I walked here.

A wonderful insight into middle class life in Bangkok from 1937 to the 1950’s. Entry is free, one member of your party has to sign the visitor's book for the group. We were warmly greeted by volunteers who explained the layout of the house and the details of the family that lived there. Part of the museum gives an overview of Bangkok history, which we found fascinating. An ice cold 10 baht water was very welcome to cool off in the garden on a typical Bangkok afternoon. The 2nd building had AC. A very enjoyable visit, I'll return to learn more of Bangkok's story.

Lovely place that retains the traditional living space of a revered female figure and owner who lived in this place. The history is well explained by the elderly volunteers who took us around. 😀 Entrance is free and there are 2 houses to explore, the 3rd being an air conditioned museum area. For non thai speakers, there are some placards in English for understanding. If not, the very friendly guides speak basic English to help understanding 👍 I really enjoyed my visit here and my only concern is that despite the house being retained in its natural state, the heat and humidity of the narrative conditions might wear the house and artifacts further. I hope to see this place even in the future agin 🙏

I loved this place. Very cosy and nice museum which consists of 3 buildings. It was interesting to look at the life of the family that had lived here many years ago. Thanks to the owners for keeping this place!

Charming & peaceful, the Bangkokian Museum offers a unique glimpse into Thai -Bangkokian life in the 1920-1950s. There are threee buildings well-preserved houses, vintage items, and lush gardens make it a hidden gem in the city. Free entry and friendly staff!

Beautiful little gem showing a private house from Bangkok's olden days. Free entry and lovely garden to rest after. We loved our visit.

Had a good time visiting the Bangkokian Museum. Here, you will learn about the history on 3 houses which were later on donated by the owner to the city. No fee required, but please respect the protocols so that we can continue preserving it.

My friend (local) and I (been living here for 9 years) discovered this museum by coincidence as we were having lunch in the area. Bangkokian Museum is definitely a hidden gem and highly recommended to visit when you are in Bangkok. It mainly shows how middle-class and upper-class Bangkokians lived in the 19th and 20th century. The entrance is free and the museum is operated by volunteers. The ladies who guided us through the several parts of the museum were absolutely loving and charming. They were extremely knowledgeable and kind. Just wow! On our way out, the ladies gave us a few mangoes straight from the tree that grows in the garden. This place and the lovely ladies really made my day! I wish them all the best! PS: Donations are possible by buying them some water and telling them to keep the change ;)
