Beatiful! Tiny little alleys, very cheap food along the main road. Plenty to see and do, and a short walk to the river for a boat trip.
All I will say is this - it’s just a market full of tat! There are motorcyclists driving up and down the alleys the food vendors look like what they are cooking although why anyone wouldn’t fly infested pork balls in batter when flies reap havoc on them is beyond me! It really isn’t a place I would recommend for westerners
Very interesting place to visit if you go to Bangkok. There are many Chinese restaurants & eateries , most amazing that they still cook Chinese traditional cuisines. A stall on the 5 footway sells red bean ice dessert which is very refreshing. Wonderful to walk into the Chinese temple which looks alike any other temples in China & Malaysia. So must pay a visit not only to taste delicious Chinese foods, see the Thai- Chinese cultures too.
It's the most. Hustle and bustle people everywhere who take you, come and go on the streets and maybe find everything at a barbaric cheap price. We have to haggle but it is another world!!!
This was our first tour on our trip to Bangkok! Our tour guide Kaew was great and answered our many questions! She really was above and beyond. I'm glad we took the time to better get to know the history and culture and food of Chinatown.
There’s something magical about sitting on the street with a beer, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and the bustling life around you. It truly feels like a different world within Bangkok. I wish I had visited earlier in my trip, but I highly recommend experiencing it! It’s amazing for the one who love street food.
