We’re on Charoen Krung Road in Bangrak, the heart of Bangkok’s riverside creative district and street food paradise. Artists, foodies and culture hounds flock here to create and collaborate, and, of course, to eat and shop! Grab a bite one of the many street food stands or wine and dine at one of Bangkok’s Michelin-starred restaurants, all a short walk from our front door. Stroll around the leafy backstreetsand pop into cool new galleries and boutiques featuring Bangkok’s coolest design labels.
Find us in a quiet block off Thanon Si Wiang (Si Wiang Road), right off the main Charoen Krung drag. Charoen Krung Road starts off at the Grand Palace, meanders through Chinatown, hooks up with central Bangkok at Silom Road and ends at Sathorn Road by the river. The Bangkok SkyTrain (BTSSaphan Taksin) and Sathorn Pier on the Chao Phraya River are only 400 meters away.
We weren’t the least bit surprised when Michelin bestowed their stars and awards to a handful of humble food carts and fine dining restaurant within walking distance of The Prince. Take a neighbourhood stroll, work up an appetetite and don’t miss a chance to try our local Michelin-approved spot.
