Street vendors thrive, and the city has a much more vibrant feel than most western capitals. The city is divided into two parts by the Chao Phya river, with Bangkok proper on the east side and Thonburi on the west. Between the river and Hua Lampong Railway Station is "old" Bangkok and the Chinatown district.
