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.

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!

Beautifully preserved and authentic house from a middle class family; kept in original style from the 1940s. The staff were lovely, explained the history of the lady that lived there and her family.

The museum is free and the ladies working there are lovely and they tell you everything about the house… and yes, their English isn’t great but if you visit Thailand don’t expect people to know English, why wouldn’t they? We’re visiting their country and their language is Thai. I’d highly recommend this place.

The Hidden Gem in Bang Rak that you shouldn't miss !! The historic house of Thai family since a hundred years ago. You can visit it for free and the staff were incredibly nice.

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.
