If you are looking for a quiet place to relax on a holiday in the busy city center, the "Bangkok Folk Museum" or Bangkok Local Museum, Bang Rak District, is a hidden gem in Soi Charoen Krung 43. This place was originally the residence of the "Wanasunthorn" family, which later Ajarn Waraporn Surawadee donated the house and all the utensils to be a museum. To allow later generations to learn about the lifestyle of Bangkokians with a moderate status during the years 1937-1957, which was an important transitional period in Thai history.
Inside the museum consists of several classic wooden buildings standing majestically amidst a lush green garden. The main highlight is the first building, a two-story wooden house with Western architecture that is exquisitely decorated. Inside, there are rare original utensils on display, such as cut glass, teak furniture, and antique photographs that vividly tell stories of the past. The atmosphere inside the house feels warm, as if we have traveled back in time to be a guest of this house.
In addition to the main house, there is also a building that used to be the surgery clinic of a British doctor. And a local exhibition building that collects the history of Bang Rak district in an interesting way. Walking around the area full of large trees and the sound of birds chirping will make you forget that you are standing in the heart of Bangkok, which is full of cars. This place is therefore a coordinate that gives happiness and inspiration to those who are passionate about history and vintage design.
Traveling to the Bangkok Folk Museum is easy by taking the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station. Or take a bus to the Bang Rak Central Post Office area and walk into Soi Charoen Krung 43 a little. The museum is open for free visits (on certain days and times). For this holiday, try holding hands with your loved ones to soak up the classic atmosphere and record beautiful pictures of the old wooden house here once. I guarantee that it will be a trip that will fill your heart with energy for sure.
