The Home of M R Kukrit Pramoj,officially known as M R Kukrit's Heritage Home, is set deep in a quiet soi off the busy South Sathon Road in downtown Bangkok.
M R Kukrit's home consists of five teak houses, the earliest of which is more than 100 years old.
An additional structure, the public functions hall was added later.
The original houses for the Home of M R Kukrit were acquired from various parts of Central Thailand, dismantled, transported and painstakingly reassembled in the present location.
The whole process from the first house till completion took twenty years. The authentic Thai houses are based on the traditional Thai architecture of the central region.
Traditional Thai houses are made from wood, held together by wooden joints or pegs. No nails are used. Such houses can be dismantled and reassembled somewhere else. So it's a real case of house moving.
