1. Grand Postal Office – this Italian/German-architecture-inspired building offers a great backdrop. And go inside and up to the TCDC balcony for city views and the impressive Garuda sculptures.
2. Graffiti Alley – turn left from the Grand Postal Office and you will enter a graffiti alley that showcases amazing street art all the way to the end of the soi by the river.
3. Warehouse 30 – Restored World War II-era warehouses has superb galleries, art spaces, cafes and wall art offering lots of pic snapping options.
4. Carving wall – this very popular wall art – created by Portuguese artist, Alexandre Farto – celebrates Thai-Portuguese relations from the past and present.
5. House No.1 – a neo-classical mansion that stands out – as much for its beautiful architecture – as for its elegant garden setting offering many great pic backdrops.
6. Soi San Chao Rong Kueak – Bangkok’s best free, open-air gallery. Check out the street art on the Mother Roaster café wall and the unofficial mayor of the alley – a an elderly shirtless gent in shades enjoying the sun and crowds.
7. Baan Rim Nam Café – Charming riverside café that’s perfect for river pics, especially at sunset.
8. So Heng Tai Mansion & the rusty Fiat Bambina – two more fave spots – one celebrating Hokkien-Teochew and an unlikely scuba pool, and a rusty Bambina that people love to pose by.
9. Sanchao Chow Sue Kong – a Hokkien shrine built in 1804 comes alive during Chinese celebrations – such as the vegetarian festival – with lots of candles and local folks offering prayers.
10. Hong Sieng Kong or Bhanurangsi Pier – End your photography walk at the stunning Hong Sieng Kong warehouse café and its prime riverside location with a Chinese pagoda in the background.
