Right I admit these aren't the oldest buildings in Bangkok, but for our criteria they make a good start, oldest buildings in Bangkok that are still being used and are not Temples or that sort of thing.
This building really stood out, we were in a taxi going through the Siriraj hospital grounds, ie all nice multi story modern buildings when we went down this little Soi, the whole soi was full of these antique colonial style buildings, all in really nice condition, the buildings are used as the administrations unit for Siriraj Hospital.
The Siriraj is the oldest medical school and hospital in Thailand, building of it started in 1888, so these buildings are probably quite old.
Ther air-cons spoil it a bit, but there really is no where else to put the compressor units I suppose.
Entrance into the main building, nice cream colours.
Shuttered windows, think the security grills are an added addition, shows how times have changed, bring back hanging
Outside around the back is a nice garden area, well looked after, also a memorial to the father of King number 9 for people to pray at.
Inside the main building, now those type of tiles went out of fashion years ago
King 9 daddy.
So, got any old buildings where you are in Bangkok?
