THE ART DISTRICT & UNSEEN CHINA TOWN
Not far from the River City, walking to Talad Noi, the old China Town community settled since the beginning of early Rattanakosin era, 237 years ago. The roots of multi-cultures, establishing the foundation of heritage in Bangkok along the river banks, can be explored through historical buildings in the area, starting from House No. 1 – office of a French liquor company, Holy Rosary Church – dated back 150 years ago, Siam Commercial Bank – the first bank of Thailand, Chinese shrine in the community displaying old low relief sculpture, and So Heng Tai, ancient Chinese Mansion – where you can take certified NAUI scuba diving. Unseen China Town will walk you through hidden local museum “Baan Kao Lao Rueng”
