Pak Phraek Community: Strolling along the historical street, experiencing the breath of Kanchanaburi. If you want to experience the true spirit of Kanchanaburi, you must try walking around \"Pak Phraek Community.\" This small street parallel to the river is the oldest commercial district of the city, dating back to the reign of King Rama III. The name \"Pak Phraek\" refers to the meeting point of the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai rivers, making this place an economic and prosperous center since the past.
The most outstanding charm is the architecture of ancient houses along both sides of the road, with a perfect blend of Chinese shophouses and European-style buildings. A must-visit is Ban Boon Phong, an old wooden house with the story of the courage of \"Mr. Boon Phong Siriwechapan,\" a hero who secretly helped prisoners of war during World War II. There are also the old city walls and city gates that stand tall, telling the story of protecting the city in the past.
Another important landmark nearby is the Kanchanaburi Thai Paper Mill, an old European-style factory built during World War II. With its vintage and sacred design, this place has become a popular check-in point for photographers and those who love old industrial-style buildings. Walking around Pak Phraek is not just a walk to see the view, but a step into a living page of history.
Change the atmosphere from a modern cafe to absorb the classic atmosphere at Pak Phraek Community once, and you will fall in love with Kanchanaburi more than before.
