Eurasian Heritage Walking Tour by ChillinChilli

Thanks to the walking activity provided by ChillinChilli, and thanks to a friend who asked me for accompanying her on this tour, I found many places those can be called unseen Bangkok.

The walking tour started at 9:30 am at Sathorn Pier (BTS Saphan Taksin Station, exit 2) and took about a half day. We went in a small group of various nationalities. There were even cameramen who took so many pictures of us.

Unfortunately, it was cold with showery rain at that day.
