Three preserved teak houses from the nineteen thirties depicting middle-class Bangkok life across two decades.
This guide to the Bangkokian Museum in Bangkok follows a Bang Rak family compound built by Sa-Arng Tanboontek, whose daughter Waraporn was born in the main teak house in 1937 and never left. It traces the adjacent house's earlier life as a British-Indian physician's clinic, and the quiet canal lane the compound once stood on. Inside, look for the mix of Western fittings and Thai Bencharong bowls that mark that in-between Bangkok.
