Description

Do you know where the oldest Chinese community in Bangkok is? It's actually right near the bustling Chinatown in the heart of Bangkok! Welcome to Talad Noi, a hidden gem brimming with history and charm. Wander through narrow alleys lined with quaint old houses, and discover vibrant street art that beautifully tells the stories of the local people—from the past to the present. Meet at BTS Saphan Taksin (Exit 1–2) and begin our journey with a scenic ride along the Chao Phraya River aboard the express boat (River Boat). This relaxing cruise offers beautiful river views and brings us to Marine Department Pier (N4)—the perfect entrance to the Talad Noi neighborhood.
