Adam Wintle
★★★★★2 years agoA fantastic way to spend half a day! This expansive house has been transformed into a museum that showcases Thai household items from the last 50 years. It features detailed reconstructions of a traditional pharmacy, toy shop, barber shop, and cinema, along with a variety of fascinating products, toys, and knickknacks. Additionally, there’s a large bookshop, though it’s worth noting that the majority of books are in Thai. You can also enjoy a visit to the cozy coffee shop, where cakes and toasts are available, though no cooked meals are served.
