Nai Lert Park Heritage Home
บ้านปาร์คนายเลิศ
The century-old teak mansion of Bangkok's great developer, in a garden that shames the embassies — tours only.
Lert Sreshthaputra — Nai Lert — ran Bangkok's first bus line and built this teak compound in 1915 on what was then the city's edge. The famous shrine in the garden corner draws its own quiet pilgrimage. Tours are guided, small and bookable.
