Why it is worth the detour
The ornate riverside branch recalls the creation of Thailand's first indigenous commercial bank and Talat Noi's importance to mercantile finance.
The Siam Commercial Bank Talat Noi Branch is the oldest operating bank branch in Thailand, designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Italian architect Annibale Rigotti. It is a significant architectural landmark located on the Chao Phraya River, near Bangkok's Chinatown.
