Bangkokian Museum

The Bangkokian Museum is a small house museum on Charoen Krung Soi 43 (Soi Saphan Yao) in Bang Rak, near the General Post Office. It preserves the wooden home of a middle-class Bangkok family and shows how people lived in the city in the mid-20th century.

Visitors walk through the main house, a second building with household items, and a former doctor's clinic, with furniture, kitchenware and photos left much as they were. A guide often shows people around. Entry is free, with donations welcome. It is closed on Mondays and generally opens from about 09:00 or 10:00 to 16:00, so call 02 233 7027 to confirm.
