Chinpracha House — Attraction in Talat Nuea

Beautifully preserved heritage mansion. The guide was very friendly and animated which kept the tour interesting as he told us (in English) about the history of the place, it's design, and some of the items in the mansion. He also speaks mandarin and hokkien! The price to enter is super reasonable. We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to chat with the owner too. He was very friendly and passionate in sharing with us about his family and background, their efforts in maintaining and boosting the heritage of Baba Nyonya culture in Thailand and across the world. I really appreciated the time he took to share with us the evolution of their traditional wear, and was very impressed by how they gave it a modern twist to make it more suited for modern day usage in formal / professional settings that can be easily adapted by different cultures. Highly recommended, definitely...

The mansion built in 1903 in the Sino-colonial style . Entry fees is 200 Baht , which was collected by a house keeper who spoke no English and no ticket was issued . Only major history buff or architecture students will enjoy . Not for casual tourist. You are given a small sheet of paper with useless information. The house is small but well maintained. Only ground floor is accessible. But most of the tour you are left guessing as to what and why the things are. A guided tour or explanatory text would help. Almost no one spoke English and i was not sure what was included in the ticket and what was now . They were laying out things to eat by the time i came out . I has no clue if that was for visitors or the staff was preparing for snacks...
