Worth 90 minutes if you like design/history — guided tour only (200 baht entry), teak house museum, silk legacy, shady garden escape heat. BTS National Stadium walk 5 min. Skip if you only care street food — not essential. Combine Siam mall lunch same trip. Open 9–6. No Grand Palace dress code but respectful clothing. Book tour slot morning — English tours fill.
