Thaivisa News Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Bangkok:- Three walking street activities will be available for tourists and shoppers to visit in the capital this Saturday, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration announced Friday. The three walking streets for Saturday will be the Khaosarn Roard, Chaeng Wattana Road and a short road under the King Rama IX Bridge, Kittinan Khaosut, the director of the BMA’s Social Development Department, said. Actually the walking street activity under the King Rama IX Bridge started since Friday, Kittinan said.

Earlier, two walking street activities have been held on Silom Road for the cluster of South Bangkok districts and on Bang Khunnon Road for the North Thonburi cluster. The Rama IX Bridge walking street is being held on Friday and Saturday for the South Thon Buri cluster while the Khaosarn Road walking street for the Central Bangkok cluster and Chaeng Wattana walking street for the North Bangkok cluster. On March 8, a walking street activity will be held in the China Town on Yaowaraj Road for the Central Bangkok cluster, Kittinan added. He said the BMA will soon hold another walking street activity on Soi Ramkhamhaeng 24 to for the East Bangkok cluster. The date has yet to be set. Narong Jongjaemfah, the director of the Lak Si district, said the “Walking Street @ Chaeng Watthana” activity will continue from Saturday to March 1 from 3 pm to 8 pm.
