    One of two remaining sections of the old Rattanakosin city wall, the other one's located not far away at Mahakan Fort. Built in the 1780's it was around 7,2 km long and had 14 forts along the wall and also 63 gates for access to the city. This section is 1,8 meters thick and 6 meters high, I guess it had the same dimensions all the way, and also have one of the old gates. It's not really much to see here and the steps up to the wall still exists but the top of the wall as been blocked of. It's been restored and maintained so was in good condition when I visited 2023 01 18. Close by to Khaosan Rd so easy to walk here if you're in the area of you have the interest 😎 I have a Youtube channel with videos from different forts & bunkers that I've filmed with both drone and normal camera. Hope you'll check it out 🙂 Username: Tomo 08swe

    One of the very few old city wall ruins across the famous Royal temple Wat Bowon Niwet. Not very high, but still well maitained to show old city charm. Be careful of traffic because the space nearby has no pavement.

    The city walls and gates of Bangkok are located in the Phra Nakhon district and were built since the reign of King Rama I in 1783. The bricks used to build the walls were obtained from the city walls of Ayutthaya. The Department of Fine Arts renovated the city walls and gates in 1981, according to the design from the reign of King Rama V, which included the impressive top gates. These gates differ from the wooden gates with red earth in the reign of King Rama I and the brick gates with battlements in the reign of King Rama III. As the city expanded during the reigns of Kings Rama V to VII, due to the development of the city with the cutting of new roads and the construction of various buildings, it became necessary to demolish the fortifications and city walls to make way for construction. Today, these three city walls, gates, and fortifications have been preserved as historic landmarks and significant ancient monuments of Bangkok for visitors to learn about and appreciate its history.

    Very nice and interesting remains in this part of town, close to a Buddhist temple and religious bookshop. It’s useful as an opportunity to take some some photographs, and there are high steps leading up to a small length of embattlements. You won’t be spending too long here. There is no pavement at the bottom of the wall, so you’ll need to be careful walking against the flow of traffic on the carriageway.
