Charoen Krung Road (Old Farang Quarter)
This is where Bangkok became a treaty-port city. Every shophouse between soi 30 and 40 is a chapter in that story.
Bangkok's first paved road, laid 1862. The consulate quarter, the original European commercial district, and the Armenian merchant community all started here.
