Kamthieng House Museum, Traditional Lanna museum in Watthana district, Thailand.

The museum consists of two rectangular teakwood houses with covered verandas, elevated from the ground on thirty-six octagonal teak pillars.

Built in 1848 on the banks of the Ping River in Chiang Mai, the house was transported to Bangkok and opened by King Bhumibol in 1966.

The museum exhibits daily objects from northern Thailand, including silk weaving looms, farming tools, musical instruments, Buddhist sculptures, and traditional furniture.

Located near Asoke BTS station on Sukhumvit Soi 21, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00 with admission fees of 100 baht.

A small animated gecko guides visitors through a 3D film presentation explaining the construction methods and traditions of Lanna village life.
