Bangkokian Museum (BKK Museum)
The Bangkokian Museum, also known as the Bangkok Local Museum in Bang Rak District, is a new perspective tourist attraction in Bangkok. It was established according to the purpose and intention of Professor Waraporn Surawadee, the owner, who wanted to organize her house and the inherited property from her mother, Mrs. Sa-ang Surawadee (Tanboonlek), into a museum for future generations to study. After organizing the items, Professor Waraporn donated the house to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Subsequently, the BMA developed the house into a pilot project to support the policy of having local museums in each district. The exhibition format includes buildings and objects that tell the story of the lifestyle of middle-class Bangkokians before and after World War II. Most of the displayed items were actually used by the house's owners.

Bangkokian Museum 🗺️
#bangkoktrip
My visit to the Bangkokian Museum was a delightful step back in time into the heart of Old Bangkok. Located in the quaint neighborhood of Bang Rak, this museum is housed in a century-old traditional Thai house, offering a charming glimpse into the city's past.
The museum's collection consists of everyday artifacts and memorabilia from Bangkok's earlier years. It's a nostalgic journey through the lives of ordinary Bangkokians, showcasing their homes, businesses, and daily routines.
What makes this museum truly special is its authentic setting. The preserved house, with its wooden architecture, antique furnishings, and lush garden, transports visitors to a bygone era.
Visiting the Bangkokian Museum is like stepping into a living history book, and it's a hidden gem for those seeking a unique and intimate perspective on Bangkok's cultural heritage. It left me with a deep appreciation for the city's roots and traditions. #ukcreator #Bangkok #thailand

Bangkokian Museum in the heart of Bangkok
Bangkokian Museum (Bangkok folk museum) located in the heart of Bangrak District of the old commercial area of Bangkok.
The whole place consists of 3 buildings. One is the main house, the second was used as a doctor's office, by the father of the past owner and the third one turned into a kitchen.
The volunteers at the museum were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Some of them spoke English fluently. If you come around the area, it's worth sparing one hour or so to explore the place. (Free entry)

There are altogether 3 houses here. One of them was transferred from another location, originally belonged to a doctor related to the family. The facility is managed by government after the owner donated the property and maintained as museum. Nice little museum to have a flash back of early life during the 1940s to 50s. Remind me of my grandparents modest timber house in some detailing.

Bangkokian Museum and Its Story
A place that shows a traditional Thai house and the history of a family in Thailand in the past. There are three houses inside, and you'll have your guide accompanying you and explaining the story of each corners. The guide even taught me some of Thai phrases/sentences. So interesting.
The entrance of Bangkokian Museum is free, guys. I think spending one hour here is enough. Best way to get here is with motorbike taxi ✨
