The Vongburi House Museum is virtually entirely made of teak. The house itself is a European style mansion adapted for life in the tropics before air-conditioning. The pink coloured exterior is punctuated by lots of lots of louvred shutters to allow the circulation of air to cool the interior. The rooms inside the house are generously proportioned with high ceilings, which also helps to keep the house cool. The interiors of Vongburi House Museum are wonderfully furnished and decorated with period pieces kept in the house by the family since the time of construction. The only major changes to the house since the end of the 19th Century are the addition of displays inside some of the rooms in the house with some fascinating old photographs of the family on the walls, tools used in the teak logging industry, and some real curiosities such as the complete skin of a leopard caught in the area 100 years ago. Entrance to the museum costs 40 THB which is well worth the money."}]
