Bangkokian Museum - Bangkok    Share

Of all the museums in Bangkok I've never received such a warm welcome as with this place. Each of the three caretakers of the three houses wanted to take my photo (for tourism purposes) and explain a little of the history and contents of the house. In one of the buildings there are some interesting photos of what Bangkok looked like before the modern age of high rise buildings. The museum is free to visit, you just register your name and country at the entrance.

My new favourite place in one of my favourite cities. When we visited we had the place almost to ourselves and could explore the three buildings at our leisure. The main house is beautiful and to wander its perfectly polished floors is to step back to a simpler and more elegant time. It felt like the family had just popped out and would return at any minute to eat dinner or listen to records. Entry is free and the museum is not too far from the Si Phraya express boat pier, so I recommend arriving via the river for an even more enjoyable afternoon.

Visited on 13/10/2919 after church service, and loved the place! Felt like being in my own grandmother's house of the 1940s; feeling's different from seeing mere photos on the net. Glad the owner & family preserved memories of heritage and culture; a come-to-life family reunion at the garden would've completed my visit! Staff were very accommodating too. :-)

This place was fantastic! Volunteers are super kind and friendly and entrance ree is free!! Luxurious antique houses and gardens are fabulous~

Meet this when I was wandering around to see how Thai's life. Look like the other SEA old place. However, I think it will be interesting for Western people.
