    Lhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound

    ...located off Charoen Nakorn (Thanon Chiang Mai) on the west bank of the Chao Praya, this restored Chinese compound offers insight into a large obviously commercial Chinese compound from the time the Chinese began to settle here in larger numbers. The brick buildings present a spacious, though unremarkable, series of storerooms (now trendy shops) around a large rectangle of mostly concrete. There is a very nice Chinese shrine located on the mezzanine and some interesting tile work adorns window frames. Nothing spectacular, but a pleasant outing as it's on the river and boasts the excellent Rong-Si restaurant.Lhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_135958-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140003-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140013-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140159-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140206-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140434-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140439-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140457-jpgLhong1919: A restored Chinese Compound-timeline_25601119_140516-jpg
