Step away from Bangkok’s usual tourist routes and discover Kudi Chin, one of the city’s most fascinating and overlooked historic communities 🏘️✨
On this relaxed 2-hour walking tour, we’ll explore the narrow lanes and riverside neighbourhoods around Santa Cruz, the historic Portuguese settlement in Thonburi 🇵🇹🌊. This is a very different side of Bangkok: a living community where Portuguese, Thai, Chinese and other cultural influences have shaped the neighbourhood for centuries 🌏🤝
Along the way, we’ll discover the story behind Santa Cruz and the Portuguese community 📖, explore old residential lanes and local landmarks 🏠, visit historic religious sites and an old Chinese shrine 🛕, and see how different cultures and traditions coexist within this small corner of Bangkok 🌸
There will also be time to stop for a local drink or meal 🍜 to connect with each other and enjoy the atmosphere of the neighbourhood 😊
Whether you are a local, visitor or resident, take this opportunity to meet new people and spend a Saturday afternoon taking it easy, walking through real neighbourhoods and discovering a side of the city that most visitors never see 👣🌿
