Primary data were collected from survey and observation of physical&nbsp;condition, and interviews of stakeholders; secondary data derived from academic&nbsp;texts and historical images. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used in&nbsp;the analysis.</span></p><p><span class="fontstyle0">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The putative ‘creative district’ concept was used to promote Central Charoen&nbsp;Krung district, where the area was previously forgotten from the wider context of&nbsp;Thailand’s tourism industry. According to the literature review and research findings&nbsp;relevant to ideas of genius loci, gentrification and creative city, Central Charoen Krung&nbsp;district presents as controversial despite the injection of a ‘creative module’ into the&nbsp;district as a current model of tolerance and of the accommodation of difference in&nbsp;an historical area of Bangkok.</span></p> ER -
