Bangkokian Museum – A Glimpse into Old Bang Rak ✨

#mytraveldiary #september2025 #history
Tucked away in the heart of Bang Rak, the Bangkokian Museum is one of the city’s most charming hidden gems. Despite its name, this small but meaningful museum is less about Bangkok as a whole and more about the history and evolution of the Bang Rak district, once a thriving hub for middle- to upper-class families in the mid-20th century.

The museum is housed in a beautifully preserved family compound that once belonged to a prominent Thai family of Indian descent, who generously opened their property to the public. Within its grounds, you’ll find:

• 🏠 The Family Home – Step back into the 1950s as you wander through airy rooms filled with vintage furniture, polished teakwood, and personal belongings that reveal the refined lifestyle of an educated Thai family.
