long in song wat

Lost, but not really. Tucked near the Chao Phraya River, Song Wat Road feels like a place learning how to live in the present without letting go of nostalgia. The old buildings are still there, worn and dignified, now sharing space with what’s modern and on the rise. Murals, graffiti, and small exhibits appear almost by accident, quietly surprising you as you walk along this historical street.

There is definitely an argument about gentrification here. But if this is one way of nurturing local creativity while keeping centuries of history intact, then this kind of change feels more than welcome, I guess.
