This teak house was built between 1897 and 1907 in the European style (gingerbread style) for Luang Phongphibun, the owner of a teak concession in the town, and his wife, Chao Sunantha. It also served as a residence for the last prince of Phrae. Although parts of the house are still occupied by his descendants, it now houses a museum with late 19th-century teak antiques, documents (including slave concessions from the early 20th century), pictures, and other objects from the heyday of the teak trade in the province. The white and pink house is among the most remarkable old houses in Phrae.

Admission: 20 THB. Open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Since I recommend that you stay in this part of Phrae or at least in the immediate vicinity, Wat Phra Non, Wat Phong Sunan, the Vongburi House, the Saturday Night Market and Wat Luang are all within a few minutes' walk.
