Amelia Roff
★★★★★4 months agoOne of my favourite things we did in Bangkok! It is quite small walkways and crowded but the vibe is so nice! Lots of artsy things to do (we made bracelets but you can paint something or decorate a heart that you can then tie to the bridge!). Nice stalls everywhere as well - a must if you ask me!
Metha Tanchatchawan
★★★★★3 weeks agoIts a great place to visit for workshops, culture and the food. However I think its abit too small so I suggest you plan something else ahead as well. Food is great and people are really nice. On weekend quite alot of people though
