Lhong 1919 is a tourist attraction on the west bank of Chao Phraya River on Bangkok's Thonburi side. Its concept is similar to that of the Asiatique The Riverfront on the Phra Nakhon side. It is at the bottom of Chiang Mai Road, Khlong San Sub-District, Khlong San District, Bangkok, Thailand.

Lhong was a historic port and warehouse in siheyuan-style. It was built in 1850 as a port for overseas shipping from British Malaya, mainland China, and British Hong Kong by Phraya Pisansuphaphol, a wealthy Thai Chinese. He was an ancestor of the Pisolyabutra family, whose descendants include Luang Sathonrachayut or Yom Pisolyabutra, who was the founder of Khlong Sathon and Sathon Road.

The port's name is derived from the word Huang Chung Lhong, an old name. In 1919, the Wanglee family acquired Lhong. In October 2016, the family started renovated Lhong as a tourist attraction and a new landmark of Khlong San and Tha Din Deang area.

So I take a tour of the old warehouses and show you what it looks like now. You also get to see a traditional Chinese show as well as the Mizu shrine. Enjoy the video!
