Explore Bangkok's Charoen Krung Road: Art Hub Steeped In History | A Street Like This | Thailand

Spancer visits Bangkok with an eye on the country’s first ever road. Built in 1864, Charoen Krung Road was the city’s original commercial district and home to iconic buildings like the Grand Postal Building and Siam Commercial Bank.

But Charoen Krung is now in the midst of a creative renaissance. The road’s heady commercial days are long gone but the country’s next generation have now stepped in to bring their own spin on things through new artistic endeavors. Spancer successfully destroys some street art, learns to make bad coffee and gets a new-gen tattoo – all experiences that have now become the norm in a transformed Charoen Krung Road.
