Exploring Bangkokian Museum
The Bangkokian Museum offers a rare view into Bangkok's vanishing history through its antique structures.
Founded in 1937 by the Surawadee family, the museum comprises three buildings that reflect postwar family life. The main building was constructed by Chinese carpenters for under 2400B. The adjacent structure served as a boarding house, while the third building, constructed in 1929, was once a surgery for a British doctor who died shortly after arriving.
