The Bangkokian Museum, also known as the Bangkok Folk Museum, preserves a former family home and everyday household life in Bang Rak before and after the Second World War. DASTA describes the historic house as dating from 1937 and records its transfer to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration on 1 October 2004. The displays include domestic furnishings and objects alongside the history of the surrounding Bang Rak community.
The municipal visitor listing gives 273 Charoen Krung 43, Bang Rak 10500, with 02 233 7027 and 02 231 6930 for enquiries. The mapped address also calls this Saphan Yao Alley in Si Phraya. Use the museum’s exact map point and confirm access if approaching through the small lanes.
Bangkok Learning City publishes Tuesday–Sunday 09:00–16:00, with Monday closed, matching the current map schedule. DASTA’s undated guide lists Wednesday–Sunday 09:00–16:00 and public holidays, so confirm Tuesday and holiday access by telephone. DASTA advertises free admission; confirm any special-event or group arrangements.
The entrance photograph is from DASTA’s museum listing. Its capture date is unknown; the ceremonial decorations and entrance arrangement shown are not a promise of the current appearance.
