Hang Thong Tang To Kang

The Tang Toh Kang gold shop spans seven floors in a building designed by a Dutch architect with distinctive architectural features that stand out in Bangkok.

The establishment, founded over 140 years ago during King Chulalongkorn's reign, became a primary supplier for numerous gold shops across Thailand.

The museum exhibits traditional goldsmithing tools, including cast molds for creating jewelry patterns featuring symbols, crowns, and animal designs that reflect Thai craftsmanship.

Located on Soi Wanit 1, the museum section opens Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 4 PM with free admission and prior appointment requirements.

The sixth floor houses displays of historical artifacts including Ratchaburi-made acid jars, antique wooden scales, and an original Garuda emblem from its early operations.
