Easily Bangkok's most charming neighbourhood, Banglamphu is the city's former aris-
tocratic centre, once filled with minor royalty and riverside mansions. Today the old quarter
is dominated by antique shophouses, backpackers seeking R&R on famous Th Khao San,
civil servants sauntering between offices and lunch spots, and Bangkok's predominant en-
clave of bohemian artists and students. Vendor carts and classic restaurants make a patch-
work quilt of Banglamphu, offering ample options for a roving stomach. The area is also
home to some of the city's best bars.
