The Thonburi community association is planning an 'Old Town & Riverside' tourism project with Thailand's Tourism Authority to link three historic riverfront districts—Talat Noi, Thonburi, and Chakri—into a unified heritage and cultural route. The project aims to position the centuries-old neighbourhoods as a major regional attraction through structured walking tours and infrastructure improvements, with formal discussions with the Tourism Authority scheduled for September 5. This initiative builds on Thonburi's recent success as a wedding photography hotspot and includes complementary developments like walking streets and public facilities.
