Song Wat Road, a historic road in the capital’s old town, is also a lesser-known hidden gem great for foodies and arts and culture fiends. The road’s name, which literally means “drawn by the king,” was built during the reign of King Rama V, who assigned the road’s construction (it’s said that the king himself wrote the line with a pencil on the map).
The century-old road runs along the Chao Phraya River for one kilometer and contains a mix of the old and new — from colonial-style shophouses, street food stalls and long-standing restaurants to modern hostels, minimalist cafes and laid-back bars.
The area also recently became more accessible than ever — Song Wat Road can be reached from either MRT Sam Yot or MRT Wat Mangkon, which were opened a few months ago as part of the MRT Blue Line extension.
