Riverside night market and open-air mall built inside century-old Danish trading company warehouses.
This guide to Asiatique The Riverfront in Bangkok follows Hans Niels Andersen, a penniless Danish shipbuilder's apprentice who sailed into Bangkok in 1873 and rose to captain a ship for the King of Siam. You'll hear how he built the Oriental Hotel, founded a trading empire back in Copenhagen, and turned this bend of the Chao Phraya into a busy port of rice, teak and rubber warehouses. The guide also covers the decades the docks sat empty after 1947, before the site found a new life.
