Bring yourself to Bang Rak
Behind the busy street of Charoen Krung in Bang Rak district, there are some places where you can enjoy peace and seclusion, although this part of Bangkok is known as a prime commercial area. The area was a large port and a trading hub since the early Rattanakosin era. Charoen Krung Road used to be a canal before being turned into a road in 1862, during the reign of King Rama IV.
