About this audio guide
This guide to the Artist House Bangkok follows a two-hundred-year-old teak house on Khlong Bang Luang, one of the last of its kind, taken over by a group of Thai artists around 2010. It traces the paintings, shadow-puppet masks and khon headdresses filling the rooms, then turns to the rod-puppet theater staged on a wooden platform by the canal each afternoon. Listen for the small Ayutthaya-era chedi tucked into the overgrown courtyard behind the house.
