About
Brze činjenice: U hladovini bambusa osjeti se miris starih drvenih ploča i finih tkanina, dok uski hodnici otkrivaju nevjerojatne zbirke azijskih antikviteta. Posjetitelji često saznaju da je više od tisuću komada tekstila restaurirano i izloženo, a vodiči pričaju zamamne priče koje potiču znatiželju.
Istaknuto: Kompleks čini šest tradicionalnih tikovih kuća koje su 1959. premještene i sastavljene oko zaklonjenog dvorišta, gdje zlatna svjetlost prolazi kroz uske prozore i otkriva slojeve ručno tkanih svilenih uzoraka. Osnivač je misteriozno nestao 1967., pa dok razgledavate sobe nailazite na stare bilješke kustosa i crno-bijele fotografije koje prostoru daju osjećaj neizvjesne, pomalo filmske drame.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, wooden floors and narrow steps can be uneven.
- Bring a hat and sunscreen for short outdoor sections in the courtyard and garden.
- Ask the guide for the best photo spots, especially the central teak living room and the raised walkways.
- Arrive for the first tour after opening to avoid larger midday groups and the heat.

4.3Arrived at 8:30am with almost no line. The guided tour included in the 200 THB fee was excellent, and the teak house is stunning, though the shop felt pricey.
On a budget the 200 THB entry felt steep and the silk shop is overpriced, yet the architecture and guide anecdotes still made it a decent stop.
Late afternoon visit, small group tour and great stories from the guide. Photos are limited indoors but the peaceful courtyard made the 200 baht worth it.
Came around noon, very crowded and hot. Entry about 200 THB, tour felt a bit rushed but the garden and antiques made it worthwhile.
