About
Hitre informacije: V zapletenem kompletu tradicionalnih lesenih hiš se skriva izjemna zbirka svile in drugih dragocenosti, ki obiskovalcem ponuja presenetljivo barvit vpogled v bogato tekstilno obrt. Obiskovalce navdušita vonj lakiranega lesa in zvok vode iz ribnikov, med vodenimi ogledi pa vodniki razkrivajo skrivnostne anekdote o lastniku in njegovem skrivnostnem izginotju.
Vrhunci: Sestavljena iz šestih tradicionalnih tajskih tikovih hiš, notranjost skriva več kot 1.000 skrbno zbranih azijskih umetnin in barvitih svilenih vzorcev, ki oddajajo vonj po staranem lakiranem lesu in blago svetlikanje zlatih patin. Ustanovitelj je leta 1948 oživel tajsko svilo in nato nenavadno izginil 26. marca 1967, zato hoja po ozkih galerijah pogosto pusti mešanico navdušenja in rahle skrivnostne napetosti, kot da bi stopal skozi sceno iz starega filma.
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.
