Thonburi was the capital city of Siam. Along this serene Thonburi canal, Kudi-Chin is the old community hidden just near the Temple of Dawn. Both places are the icon of Thonburi, and we will give them (and many more places) a visit! I am also a history teacher, so you will be getting some cool insights about this local community and the past of Thailand :)

Thonburi is the fascinating part of Bangkok.
