With the subway expansion, Bangkok’s Chinatown is under threat of being redeveloped into shopping complexes and condominium units. The Bangkok Legacy Walk raises awareness and supports the preservation of Bangkok’s rich multicultural heritage. Start your journey at the southern tip of Samphanthawong (near BTS Saphan Thaksin) then explore the area between the river and Bangkok’s first road, Charoenkrung, before heading to the Charoen Chai preservation project. There, you’ll meet local community leaders and learn about the challenges traditional neighborhoods face. Later in the day, the tour will stop at Little Bombay for Indian snacks before taking a ferry back to the starting point. B1,800, www.bangkokvanguards.com
