The new Klong Ong Ang pedestrian street, located along both sides of the Ong Ang canal and stretching from Damrong Sathit Bridge to Saphan Han Bridge, opened in late October. However, it's not simply a street lined with souvenir and food stalls.
Klong Ong Ang is part of Klong Rop Krung, a canal dug shortly after King Rama I chose Bangkok as Thailand's new capital in 1782.
This area also features street art performances in various styles, showcasing the unique characteristics of the region. Another highlight of this old town is the street performers who entertain visitors with live music and other acts.

Until recently, much of the area around the canal was covered with flea markets, souvenir shops, etc., and was only cleared in 2015 as part of an urban planning project. Since then, it has become a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists. The new pedestrian street is a highlight that makes the area even more attractive.
The pedestrian street is open on weekends, from Friday to Sunday.
