This area,
This area, which has become popular in recent years, not only carries the historical style of old Bangkok, but also gathers countless treasure shops and young creative energy, making people unable to stop once they step in!
Songwa Road is not long, but there are surprises at every corner: independent bookstores, hipster selection shops, vintage furniture, design brands and specialty cafes. The old houses, warehouses, iron window grilles and arcade buildings of the early Chinese settlements are preserved here, but they are infused with the soul of the new generation. Many shops are run by young Thais, with unique styles and a friendly atmosphere.
We originally planned to just take a short stroll, but we ended up being trapped here for the entire afternoon once we walked in, visiting one store after another. Even in the evening we still felt that we didn't have enough time, and many alleys hadn't been explored in depth. It was like we were playing an urban version of a treasure hunt game.
Not only do young Thai people like to come here to party, go shopping and take photos on weekends, but it is also attracting more and more international tourists. If you like a non-typical city trip and don’t want to just visit the popular attractions, then you should definitely add Songwa Old Town to your list of must-visit places in Bangkok!
