Khlong San Pier Photo credit: Icon Siam facebook It is the pier to cross the Chao Phraya River which is linked to Si Phraya Pier. Even though they are just on the opposite side of the river, Khlong San Pier has a different charm from Si Phraya Pier because it is the centre of cheaper products: "Khlong San Plaza". There are clothes, utensils, including food and desserts. There is one famous 'Bua Loy' shop which always has people queuing up. Although it is not very different from Trok Wang Lang or other similar pier markets, Khlong San Plaza opens until night time, so people can enjoy themselves after work. Lately Khlong San Pier has been famous for another aspect after the launching of "The Jam Factory", a 'factory' of creativity from the adaptation of a deserted storehouse by the river not far from the pier. It has become a small community for modern people. It answers your needs by gathering restaurants, galleries, bookshops, cafes; all in the same place, If you turn into the small alley in the middle of this busy market, you will meet a compact and modern green space which is different from its surroundings designed by Duangrit Bunnag, architect and founder. Location: Charoen Nakhon Rd., the entrance is opposite to Soi Charoen Rat. The King of Thon Buri Statue The King of Thon Buri Statue at Wongwian Yai.
