I visited the beautiful arena on a Friday afternoon. Our hotel was at a walking distance so we just crossed the Water Gate and reached with the help of Maps.
Straight we went to the ticket window and purchased along with an English guided tour. Each ticket costs 200 Baht irrespective of whether it is a guided tour or not. The tour was supposed to start 20 minutes later so we captured pictures and explored an in-house restaurant meanwhile. The guide came 2 minutes before the start time and she started explaining everything calmly and in detail. The tour lasted for ~40 minutes and we came back with so many great memories.

One of the highlights of our Bangkok trip.
Guests are asked to choose which they’d want to visit-the house or the art exhibit area.
We opted for the house tour. Tours are offered in various languages-English, Mandarin, French, etc which runs for about 40-45 minutes. Big bags are requested to be kept in the locker(free of charge) while shoes are requested to be removed prior to entering the house.
The house is so full of surprises. Almost each nook and cranny has a story to tell.
It was a very educational experience as I imagined Jim’s passion for Thailand (and its silk)create a long lasting impact around the world.
Since Jim’s souvenir shop items are quite pricey, we opted to shop from a nearby shop also selling silk items among other things.  We bought some items in support of the deaf merchant.
The museum is walking distance from The National Stadium station.

Highly recommended to visit!

Amazing place with great history!  Learn something about Thai architecture, culture, and soy mystery.  Go early to enjoy some tranquility. If need to wait for your in your language, can spend time in their amazing store or get a nice drink or food. Restaurant quality is fantastic.  Highly recommend! And try to come by the water bus on the canal to make your experience even more memorable!

A very good tourist attraction, very historical and educational. We learned about the history of silk in Thailand, and how silk trade helped the economy. They also have a gift shop that has the best quality silk you can find in Bangkok. Also they have a restaurant inside that serves very good international and Thai food. A must visit when in Bangkok Thailand.

Very famous tourist attraction in Bangkok. Entrance fee is 200 baht including a guided group tour in either English or French. Maybe other languages also but they didn’t ask me about that. You cannot walk around the house by yourself and you are now allowed to shoot videos inside also. The employees were very sweet and informative and the tour took about 30-40 minutes. It’s definitely worth the money spend and 1 hour here should be enough to see both the garden and the house and even have a refreshment at their restaurant
