Spanning a group of restored defunct Chinese warehouses on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, this concept shopping complex combines the old-world charm of its 19th-century premises with an artsy shopping experience promised by a line of designer stores and boutiques housed within the buildings. A few good restaurants thrown along the property's riverside promenade complete the evening-out experience.
