The Bangkok Museum is impressive in its gods collections and ancient relics that give a huge stream of knowledge about the history and culture of the country. The special charm of the museums gain when the place itself where they are located, has the unforgettable history.

Present in the house during the Second world war, the ethnographic Museum of Bangkok is a description of life in the big city these days. The original building, built in 1937, belonged to the family of Suravali, but later he gave to the organization of the Museum in order to preserve the lifestyle of the early Bangkok Bangrak district. October 1, 2004, the Museum came under the management of the Bangkok Metropolitan administration.

Ethnographic Museum consists of two buildings and a cosy garden. In the Central house are the items left over from the family Suravali who originally lived in the building of the present Museum. In particular to have survived vase Benjarong from the finest porcelain in five main colours of the period of king Rama V (1858 – 1910). The Museum houses items of porcelain and historic Rattanakosin period.

In the second building on the Museum grounds supposed to live Dr. Francis Christian, stepfather of the owner, but he has not lived before moving and tragically died. Instead of the doctor here is its rich collection of cigars and bricks since the beginning of the 20th century. You can even see the real Bangkok cuisine of the war period, and in the second room shows the toilet and the bathroom the same time.

Together with the ethnographic Museum with the support of the Bangkok administration there is the Museum of Bangrak district. It stores the record from the district about how to build roads and houses, who was born and who died.
