East Asiatic Company Building
This building is doing the work of ten history books. It shows exactly what European commercial power in Siam looked like — and how much of Bangkok's economy it controlled.
Built 1901 for the Danish trading company that dominated Siamese timber and trade. One of the best-preserved European commercial facades on the Bangkok riverfront.
