The Bangkokian Museum

Also known as the Bangkok Folk Museum, this offers visitors something a little off the beaten path. Another great choice for architecture fiends, the two well-maintained traditional Thai houses that make up the museum are real treasures. Made in 1937 and 1929, respectively, the wooden homes contain an array of antiquities and everyday household items. This gives a feeling of what a real Thai home might’ve been like during the pre-WWII period. There’s also a another more modern building behind the two traditional homes that serves as an additional exhibition space catering mostly to locals.
The Bangkokian Museum doesn’t offer large range of artworks or artifacts like the more established institutions on this list. However, it’s a wonderful way to experience a beautiful Thai home during the early thirties. Open Wednesday through Sunday with free admission, the museum can be tricky to find. Your best bet is going to the well known Oriental Hotel or Royal Orchid Sheraton hotel in Bangrak, and grabbng a taxi from there.
