Description: |
|
Almost a hundred years ago, Hua Takhe market was a major trading
location for the communities living nearby. And it was the home
of rice mills and wooden-boat builders. Wooden terraced houses
were built on the banks of the khlongs, with a wooden patio and
a wide walkway, that could be used for docking boats, trading
and shipping. But when the transport traffic turned to the
streets, it lost its function and its decline began. Many houses
were abandoned. In 1994 a fire destroyed around 150 houses south
of the khlong, but the houses on the north side have survived.
In recent years a group of locals has worked to reinvigorate the
area. They formed Hua Takhe Lovers Community. Local residents
joined with teachers and students from nearby College of Fine
Arts and created a lot of new activities and also many
attractive retro-vintage subjects for photographers or
instagrammers.
Today cafés along the khlong attract
customers, together with dessert shops, shops selling groceries
and noodles, and there is also a barber’s. The old wooden houses
have been filled with new life. Si Yaek Huatakhe Cafe &
Guesthouse even got the Art and Architecture Conservation Award
by the Association of Siamese Architects in 2016. |
