Bangkok Metropolitan Museum, Phra Nakhon

Built in 1922, this wooden house-turned-museum gives a brief history of various neighborhoods in the district—Tha Tien, Wat Norarath, Tha Wang—via a walk-through exhibit that displays objects of old and vintage photographs. There are also corners where you can learn about the life of the neighborhood’s former famed residents, including former Prime Minister Pridi Banomyong.
