A 230-year-old Chinese mansion in Talad Noi area

#BangkokTravel Baan So Heng Tai or Baan Duang Tawan is a Hokkien-Teochew-style mansion in Talad Noi that is over 230 years old. The house plan is called “4 houses surrounding a courtyard”. Currently, there is a pond in the middle of the courtyard to be used as a diving school. It is surrounded by a 2-storey building made of wood and cement, which is open to the public. With the value of being an ancient house from the early Rattanakosin period that has survived until today, there is the graceful beauty of the carved woodwork, wall paintings, and beautiful plaster work from craftsmen at that time, which is hard to find nowadays. Therefore, this place has become a place to stop by where everyone wants to take beautiful pictures and walk around to enjoy the atmosphere. The owner of the house is happy to welcome visitors by selling drinks and snacks to order and sit on the balcony on the 2nd floor. It is considered as a collection of entrance fees to generate income to cover the cost of maintaining the place. ⏰ Open Tuesday - Sunday 9.00-18.00 hrs.
