ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
The Bangkokian Museum is one of the hidden gems of Bangkok worth visiting. Due to the fact that the museum is little known and difficult to reach by public transport, tourists here are rare visitors. We definitely recommend visiting it if you have time left after visiting the popular attractions of the city, and you want to see something that has not yet been trampled by crowds of tourists.
The Bangkok Museum consists of two wooden houses on the territory of one estate owned by a family of Bangkok residents during the Second World War. The houses are surrounded by a garden, and the estate itself is surrounded by a fence that protects the yard from the hustle and bustle of the city, and you can completely forget that this place is located in the center of one of the noisiest megacities in the world. Inside the houses, the atmosphere corresponding to the time when the family lived here was recreated, many exhibits belonged to family members. There are signatures in English, but, unfortunately, they only briefly explain the exhibits. Inside the houses, you can inspect and photograph everything, but you can't touch the exhibits. We visited this museum after the famous and very popular Jim Thompson House Museum, and to be honest, I liked this one more.

🚶 How to get there
Located in Bang Rak district at 273 Saphan Yao Alley (museum on the map). You can get to it by public transport without much difficulty, but you will have to go part of the way, because it is located on a quiet street with almost no signs, and it is difficult to recognize it among the other houses. Therefore, it is better to use the navigator.
The nearest stations are: Hualamphon Underground Metro (20 minutes on foot); Surasak Skytrain (20 minutes on foot); boat dock on the Chaopraya River Wat Muang Kae (10 minutes on foot).
