This charming street, with a history spanning over 100 years since the reign of King Rama V, is rich with stories and culture. Songwad Street was once famous for its trade in herbs, fruit and vegetable seeds, and remains deeply connected to Bangkok’s food culture and heritage.

As you walk along, you’ll admire a beautiful blend of Chinese and Colonial architecture.
