Thonburi is a large district that located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. General Phraya Taksin made Thonburi the new capital of Siam for a brief period of time since 1767- 1772

Thonburi Adventure stayed relatively isolated from Bangkok proper, and for centuries was an agricultural land filled with canals and fruit orchards. While Thonburi has quickly developed in recent decades, most visitors still come here for the cool and peaceful atmosphere. The traditional Thai way of life on the canals still exists here, as do the floating vendors and orchard farms.

If you would like to get away from shopping malls and typical tourist spots in Bangkok try popping across the river to visit Thonburi.
