Baan Bang Khen, Cultural museum in Bang Khen District, Thailand
Baan Bang Khen is a museum in Bangkok with multiple halls displaying vintage objects, traditional artifacts, and historical collections across its grounds. The complex includes exhibition spaces for classic cars, traditional medicine tools, antique electronics, plus a reading room and cafe.
The museum was founded in 2017 by collector Sompong Pisankitvanich and focuses on documenting Thai daily life from the 1950s and 1960s. This era represents a turning point before modern shopping centers transformed the urban landscape.
The Baan Por Luang section displays royal memorabilia and photographs from King Rama IX's era, showing how the monarchy connects with everyday Thai life. Visitors can experience this bond through the items on display.
The museum sits on spacious grounds with multiple buildings that make it easy to move between exhibits. There is a reading room, restaurant, and cafe on-site where visitors can take breaks.
The museum houses an extensive Coca-Cola collection with international items, including bottles, delivery trucks, and vending machines from different eras. This collection shows how a global brand became woven into local history.
