This teakwood house was originally built during the reign of King Rama VI. It once belonged to Luang Nissai Sorrakarn, the first police inspector of Bang Rak Police Station. In the past, he owned all the surrounding land, but today the area has been overtaken by commercial buildings — with only two original structures remaining: this house and the corner house to the right.
The concrete-fronted house once belonged to Luang’s daughter, who was Thailand’s first female professor. Remarkably, the property also contains a bomb shelter from the World War II era, making it of significant historical value.
The main structure, including every pillar and door, remains completely original — crafted from solid teak. More than just preserving the past, the current owner has added a touch of contemporary artistry, starting with the installation titled “Time Eater“. This conceptual piece invites all visitors to metaphorically leave their sense of time behind as they step inside. The experience is like walking back into a bygone era, allowing guests to be immersed in the home’s beauty, reluctant to turn their gaze — or return to the present.
In earlier times, the entire neighborhood consisted of homes in this architectural style. Now, only the corner house and this one remain, with everything else replaced by shophouses. This house has a rich lineage as well. After Luang sold the home, the new owner’s child eventually married Luang’s grandchild — reconnecting the families once more.
The last owner was Luang’s daughter, who had no children of her own. Upon her passing, the house was inherited by eight grandchildren of the family’s current generation.
