These traditional Thai houses have been inherited from generation to generation since the great grandfather of the owner, Mr.Kasemchai Sangsanguan. The houses were built by the great grandfather before Mr.Kasemchai’s grandmother was born. (1931)

Originally the Thai houses have located next to Klong Bang Pa Kaew, in front of Po Kaew temple. They consisted of 2 big houses with a terrace in the middle. Then the great grandfather split them up and gave each them to the grandmother and her sister. One of them was discomposed and brought along to build up again at the current location. Another has been moved to Bang Klo, Rama III Road.
