About
Fakta singkat: Langit-langit kayu yang tinggi dan lorong sempit menyimpan koleksi tenun sutra yang memikat; pengunjung sering terpesona oleh aroma kayu tua dan gema langkah kaki. Ruang interior yang padat ornamen menyimpan lebih dari 1.000 artefak, dan pemandu lokal kerap membagikan teori misterius tentang pemiliknya sehingga kunjungan terasa seperti menelusuri teka-teki.
Sorotan: Kompleks rumah itu disusun dari enam rumah kayu jati tradisional yang dipindahkan dan dirakit ulang, jadi lantainya berderit hangat, aroma kayu jati yang dipoles bercampur dengan melati, dan kolam kecil di halaman sering memantulkan kumpulan anggrek merah muda. Tahun 1967 sang pendiri menghilang secara misterius saat bepergian, sejak saat itu pemandu sering menurunkan suara ketika menceritakan kisah itu di dalam ruang berlapis sutra, membuat tur terasa seperti menguping rahasia tua.
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.
