#CulturalTourism The origin of the name of the community "Charoen Chai" .. It is assumed that it comes from the words "Charoen Krung" and "Plab Phla Chai" which were used as the name of the alley called "Charoen Chai Alley". In the past, this alley was known to the Chinese as "Tong Heng Koi". .. The Charoen Chai community area has many valuable old buildings and is an important source of Chinese cultural products in Bangkok. .. The shophouses inside the alley were built since the reign of King Rama V. There are about 60 rooms called "Tek Ko Hang" which means long bamboo. The shophouses inside the alley are used for living. The shophouses on the side of the main road are used for various businesses such as Chinese medicine shops, foreign liquor shops, medical shops, joss paper shops, etc. #100TravelTips #BangkokTravel
