★★★★★Edited 2 years agoUsed to be an official house of a royal Prince Chumbhot of Nagara Svarga and his family. Very beautiful house interior and exterior.Relaxing and quiet environmental without the crowd of tourists, just relax like home. There're quite a number of ancient artifacts in the museum. But you are not allowed to take any interior picture. You have to put your belongings in the office's locker. Staffs are very polite and welcoming. Visited in September 2023. Overall, worthy to visit. Ticket is only 100 bahts. I will recommend to my friends who are visiting Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok).
