Awakening Bangkok 2019
Charoenkrung Road is famous in Thailand for being its very first concrete road that was built to make way for business connections around the city. Today, there are many historic buildings from the olden days as well as modern cafes and art galleries around the area. It’s a popular spot to relax thanks to its artsy vibe.
The upcoming Awakening Bangkok 2019 will be adding a vibrant twist to the Charoenkrung area with tones of light installations – Instagram hunters stay tuned!
