Bangkokian Museum – A Glimpse of Old Bangkok

#hellohalloween #october2025 #bangkokian
Tucked away in the heart of the city, the Bangkokian Museum offers a rare journey back to the everyday life of Bangkok during and after World War II. Unlike grand palaces or temples, this charming museum preserves the intimacy of home life, capturing how the city transformed from an orchard-filled town into a modern business hub.

🏠 The Two Houses
• The 1937 house remains just as it once was, with its bedroom, living room, and period furniture offering an authentic look into a middle-class Bangkok family’s lifestyle.
• The second home belonged to an Indian doctor trained in Britain, blending Eastern and Western styles in its décor — a reflection of the cosmopolitan influences shaping Bangkok at the time.

🌟 Beyond the Houses
Nearby row houses serve as galleries, showcasing household items, tools, and craftsmen’s instruments, further enriching the picture of Bangkok’s evolving identity.
