- Bangkok Train Station - This walking tour will take you through Bangkok’s historic Chinatown, a neighbourhood so rich in sights, sounds, and smells that it could only really be described as an assault on the senses (in a good way!). Taking a stroll through this neighbourhood is one of the best things to do in Bangkok, and with a local to guide you along, you’ll never miss a beat.
You’ll begin this Bangkok Chinatown tour at Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station, it doesn’t get any more old-school than this – the station is more than a hundred years old and one of Bangkok’s architectural gems. There’s plenty of action inside with locals coming and going, but catch it while you can. There are plans to close the station and replace it with a modern terminal in the next few years.
