Bangkokian Museum, Historical residential museum in Si Phraya Subdistrict, Thailand.
Description
The Bangkokian Museum comprises three traditional wooden houses from the 1930s that contain residential spaces and furnishings of Bangkok's middle class. These houses show how families arranged their rooms and lived during that era.
History
The buildings date from Bangkok's modernization period when European styles met traditional Thai design in residential architecture. This era shaped new ways of living for the city's more prosperous families.
Culture
The houses display everyday objects from middle-class Bangkok life and how people lived differently over time. Personal items, furnishings, and photographs show what mattered to families in those days.
Practical
The museum sits near Charoen Krung Road and is accessible by foot from nearby areas. Plan time to walk through the different rooms and observe how spaces connect to one another.
