Bangkokian Museum

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!

We had read about this museum and planned to visit but the day we chose turned out to be Chulalongkorn Day and AI was telling us it would be closed. Lucky that we ignored AI and still went there because not only was it open but it was free and lovely volunteer staff took time to show us around and explain things. Museum is made up of 3 old houses and they contain a lot of furniture, photos and household items relating to the former owners. A fascinating insight into life in Bangkok for middle - upper class people last century.

It's really worth coming here to visit, to take a look at how people lived in the early 1900s in Bangkok. It's nice to take a walk in the house and feel what it's like, and it items in the house have been maintained as they were. It's free to visit this museum and it's currently being maintained by the government.

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.

This remarkable "hidden gem" survives Bangkok rapid development, with an unassuming nature that the public mighg pass through without noticing it. The best part is that is FREE!!! There are three buildings in the yard- the resident bungalow, a clinic, and a "bachelor" house which are todays gallery with relics of the past. You will be accompanied by the staff who not only acts as guide but also to ensure the safety of the exhibits and visitors.

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.

Interesting house of a former doctor. Interesting story, however not really showing life of true Bangkok people. Focus on upper class and what can be done if you are rich.

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 🙏
