Map to Talad Noi
|
The map to Talad Noi shows the road to the Talad Noi branch of the Siam Commercial Bank by the Chao Phraya River just on the outskirts of Chinatown, Samphanthawong district.
This was the first branch of the bank to be established. The beautiful 100-year old building, designed by Annibale Rigotti, is set in a spacious garden with a private pier on the Chao Phraya River.
Please see the interactive map to Talad Noi below. The major landmarks are indicated by pointers. The Siam Commercial Bank is the top pointer.

An easy way to get there is to take the Bangkok skytrain to Taksin Bridge. From there take a Chao Phraya River boat from the Sathorn Pier to the Si Phraya Pier.
From Si Phraya, walk along Soi Wanit 2 till you get to Yotha Road. The SCB Talad Noi branch is on the left, just after the Holy Rosary Church.
If you're going by road, go along Charoen Krung Road, past the Si Phraya junction. Take the left fork, cross the canal and turn left into Yotha Road.
The Talad Noi branch like all other branches of the Siam Commercial Bank is open from Monday – Friday. To view the building please go during office hours as the gate to the compound might be locked after that.
The SCB Talad Noi branch is located on Walking Street that goes all the way through Chinatown. While you are there, drop in to the Holy Rosary Church as well.
