Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Museums
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

To me the word “folk” gives the wrong impression. I would call it “Old Vintage Homes of Old Bangkok” The main attraction in the white 1927 Panya house which was usually a two story wooden gabled roof white house painted to look like a cement home. The home was owned by an upper middle class family during the time when the area was a neighborhood of homes and tree lined streets instead of high rise apartments, ugly 60ish style cement block shops, and a couple expressways devouring the peaceful post WWII neighborhoods. The daughter, (who grew up in the house) saw the importance of saving the house when she became a well known university professor and saw her whole neighborhood vanishing. She was able to donate the estate to the city for a museum. During the process she was able to move her father’s teakwood clinic to the backyard of the small museum grounds. It was also a joy to see the architecture and furnishings. There is another small building that has a old traditional kitchen on display. If you’re into old homes ( not mansions) this is worth a couple hours to explore. It is about a 25 minute walk from the BTS Thaksin station or take a taxi but make sure the address is written in Thai; for, this is not a major tourist attraction. GPS on Google maps helped my taxi driver. (btw: The museum supervisors there love their work & meeting visitors.)
