Klong Ong Ang Walking Street in Bangkok\u2019s bustling Chinatown district recently reopened much to the delight of locals and visitors.<\/p>\n
Bangkok\u2019s newest Walking Street makes exploring the Old City and Chinatown neighborhood easier than ever.<\/p>\n
The Walking Street stretches 1.5 km along both sides of a beautified section of the canal Klong Ong Ang between Damrong Sathit Bridge and Saphan Han Bridge.<\/p>\n
Klong Ong Ang has a long history.
\nIt was constructed in the 1780s by King Rama I soon after the establishment of Bangkok as the new capital and in its early days was a bustling lifeline of trade and travel.
\nThe name Ong Ang actually means pottery.<\/p>\n
The renovation project was awarded the 2020 Asian Townscape Awards from the UN-Habitat Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.<\/p>\n
The restoration and beautification project saw this area transformed from a crowded enclave of hawker stalls and a polluted waterway into a charming urban recreational area.<\/p>\n
