Lhong 1919 (Thai: ล้ง 1919; Chinese: 廊 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 (Chinese courtyard architecture). It was built in 1850 as a port for overseas shipping from British Malaya, mainland China, and British Hong Kong by Phraya Pisansuphaphol (Chuen), 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 (火船廊; lit: 'steamer port'), an old name.

Really enjoyed this restored complex of historic southern Chinese buildings, some of the only ones remaining in Bangkok. There are some cute restaurants and lovely shops and it’s just beside the river. Everything is very “instagrammable”. We spent a good couple of hours here. Very enjoyable. Sort of touristy but not tacky.

We dropped in here at night. We took the ferry from across the river which was free. A great trip up the river seeing the sights before we arrived. The area has been greatly restored to its original condition. There is a bar at the front as well as a couple of restaurants, a Cafe or 2 at the rear... We stopped at the restaurant that promised home style Thai cooking. We weren't disappointed, the food was fantastic - the highlight being the fried fish in garlic.

Old preserved office and warehouses that find its place in new forms. Beautiful hand painting on wall can be seen on the second floor. Many small handicraft and curiosity shops. Up scale restaurants. Very active in the evening.

Just a place to eat or hangout with a group of friends. There are 3 restaurants serving typical Thai food but with really inflated price. I tried the one nearest to the pier (Rong Si). Food was OK and was served very quickly despite the place being packed. Price was really expensive for such normal Thai dishes. You will really be paying for the ambience only. Have to admit that ambience was great. Really liked the live music inside. If you sit outside, you will be facing the bar where there was live music and lots of people dancing. Overall, a nice place but not one where I would be returning to. Nice place for taking photos

Great place. Actually it's good fusion trying to preserve old in the modern world. Old Chinese style buildings amd some great restaurants amd shopping stalls to go with it. couldn't stay late till night but i think evening time will be the best to visit. as with sub lime lights by the canal it sure look amazing i guess.

Feels like something is missing. Feels unfinished. That being said if you're doing a day trip up the Thonburi side of Bangkok, then its worth a visit. I went during the day. Maybe it's better at night? I dunno. Was worth the visit, but didn't blow me away.

Lhong 1919 Bangkok is a 19th century Chinese mansion fully restored as Bangkok heritage with shopping an dining opportunities. The main two-story complex forms a U around a vast courtyard, having post-Ming dynasty Chinese architecture. The house is perhaps one of the only remaining southern Chinese architecture anywhere in Bangkok. In 1984 it was honoured with an architectural conservation award from the prestigious Association of Siamese Architects (ASA).

Nice place to see simple old Chinese building. Coffee tested good. There are some nice restaurants, especially one on the river side.

Nicely renovated place with old Chinese houses on 2 floors converted in shops and museums. A couple of decent restaurants by the river. However it is not very popular, maybe a little too quiet and too focused so if you don’t know what to do you won’t stay long. Lack a bit of soul.

I went here around 4-5pm. They were painting the wall and no many visitors came. It is quite. Yet, I love this place. There are many small shops. They sell handicraft, perfume, oil,...

I would have rated 5 star if I hadn't had the bad reservation experience. The food is one of the best authentic Thai food. Drinks are expensive as they choose to use a famous local chain. Food is not cheap either but worth the trip. The desserts I chose always ran out. Setting is good on the river in an old rice mill of the renowned Wanlee family. It is a bit hard to get to if you don't drive and leaving is hard as you most likely have to walk out of the soi to get a taxi. I booked the round table near the window as I had very important overseas guests about 10 days beforehand. The staff failed to register my request even though I asked again to keep that table before I arrived and the staff I talked to said yes.They gave the table to someone who didn't even book and were too scared to correct their mistake. Even when we called their superior her attitude was "oh is it true it's our fault" since I didn't ask for the staff's name. My friend vowed never going back to the place.
