"When will we arrive?" I began to complain, as the bad weather and the heat of Bangkok were getting to me. The water I had been hoarding earlier had turned into sweat dripping down my face, and the rest had flowed into my bladder, making me need to pee even more!

We walked past a group of workers enjoying their lunch under the shade of trees, feeling relaxed and happy. We passed by the residence of the Russian ambassador, and I felt like shouting over the wall, "Say hello to Putin for me!" Many houses in this area are extraordinary, with large trees and some even adorned with sculptures. We enjoyed looking at the houses until we reached our destination without realizing it.

Admission fee is 50 baht per person. Visitors are welcome to explore the house of M.R. Kukrit Pramoj at their leisure.

The first point of interest is the Thai pavilion, which was built for important events such as merit-making, Khon teacher worship, and guest reception.

Next is an area called the Khmer Garden.

Try greeting "Wong-ngern," the only remaining old fish in the pond. If you're lucky, it will follow you around.

The ground floor is where the homeowner spends their daily life and writes. It features old photographs and a vintage Thai flag.

The upper level consists of five houses, the most notable of which is the central guest house, which houses a collection of ancient artifacts.

On the left is a bed, believed to be the resting place of King Rama II during his writing sessions. On the right, there is a cabinet containing headpieces from the reigns of King Rama IV and V, as well as a gold-inlaid lacquerware cabinet from the reign of King Rama III.

An intricately carved ivory tusk at the library

The surrounding buildings, such as the library and dormitories, contain old belongings arranged as they were when Prince Chula Chakrabongse was still alive.

There is nothing remarkable to see here, and the time machine does not appear to be functioning for some reason.

Continuing into the inner garden, there is a small pet cemetery. Each grave is marked with a name tag.

"Do you have a condom?" the woman asked.

"I don't know which 'mom' you're referring to."

Mom is a book that was popular during the time of Ajarn Jaeng's youth. It is another work by Mom Rajawongse Kukrit Pramoj that tells the story of the bond between a dog and its owner.

The lotus pond behind the house.

The next sentence is:

Next to the cemetery, there was an old swimming pool and a large courtyard behind the house, where tables were being set up in a flurry of activity for an upcoming wedding. In the corner of the garden, there was a small pavilion. The sound of Thai music floated from there. Everything clicked. In that instant, I was sent back in time to when the owner of the house was still alive.

Note:

M.R. Kukrit Pramoj was a prominent politician, administrator, and writer who authored several significant works, including "Mom," "Four Reigns," "The Cuckoo at Bang Phleng," and "Red Bamboo." He was recognized by UNESCO as a Person of the World in four fields: education, culture, social sciences, and mass communication.

Summary

Visiting this place alone might not be very interesting. However, if you are already in the area for a meal at Soi Suan Phlu, it might be worth a quick stop. Alternatively, you could combine your visit with a meal at Il Bolognese, an Italian restaurant located opposite the entrance. This will provide you with a delightful dining experience that could turn your day into something special (although it may not be the most budget-friendly option).
