- Chanthaboon Waterfront Community in Chanthaburi Thailand
Chanthaboon Waterfront Community or Chanthaboon Riverside Community ชุมชนริมน้ำจันทบูร is an ancient waterfront community in the heart of Chanthaburi Province in eastern Thailand.
The traditional community dates back to King Narai the Great's reign of Ayutthaya Kingdom (more than 300 years ago), regarded as the first community of Chanthaburi. The ancestors of this community are three ethnic groups, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese. In the King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign, it was regarded as the center of the province and was a trading and travel destination for the eastern region.
At present, it is another cultural attraction of Chanthaburi. There are many old buildings in Sino-Portuguese and Gingerbread styles lined up on a one km long pedestrian street that follows the Chanthaburi River (locally known as Chanthaboon River). The river is known as Mae Nam Chanthaburi by the local people.
Chanthaboon Waterfront Community is situated along the Chanthaburi River, opposite the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The church is a historic building and recognized as the most beautiful Catholic church in Thailand. A Chinese temple by rhe name of 'Chao Mae Kuan Im' is a prominent landmark inside the Community. The Chanthaburi Gemstone market is also nearby.
The entire length of the street is lined with restaurants, sweet shops, antique shophouses, cafés, traditional drug stores, joss houses as well as guest houses.
This area is a real hidden gem and worth spending half a day exploring what it has to offer.

The waterfront community is a great place to visit. A good idea to add onto a trip here would be to see the largest Catholic Church in Thailand, located just across the river.

Get rid of old websites and data. Inly open sat. -sun 10-4. Not everyday
Thanks.
Absolutely brilliant. The perfect insight to a place you should ever want. Certainly informative and a natural commentary, which makes a viewer feel like they are themselves living the experience. Travel writing and blogging tends to be way too glossy now. Even Lonely planet seems to have made a shift in their theme these days. This however gives a real feel for the place you're viewing. Certainly helps to confirm my decision to visit Chanthaburi next year. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Hearing things like this mean a lot to me. I really enjoy talking about the places I go and see. It’s nice to know that people appreciate it.
Chanthaburi is over looked and it’s a shame. The area has a lot to offer. Most people skip it on the way to Koh Chang. There is one thing I want to do next time and that is take a boat trip. I saw on a Thai channel where they went through a few fishing villages and it looked great. It gives me a reason to go back :)
List hours now, 😊as most old saying 24 hrs open
Ok. Thanks for the information. It’s been over a year since I was over there.
