#Chinatown: Self-proof Prophecy of Orientalism This neon-style street theater has long been a cultural specimen of the era of globalization. When the "Congratulations on getting rich" electronic light brand flashes next to the KFC signboard, when the traditional menu is sandwiched with Thai price codes, this self-orientated space is precisely feeding tourists' imaginations of exotic atmospheres. The carbon smoke of the night market is the main character. The fish stew was rolling in the aluminum pot for a hundred years, and the sound of the fried stew shovel and the iron pot was hidden in the survival code of the ancestors of the Nanyang. The dragon and phoenix in the gold shop window mirrored each other, and the Guan Gong shrine on the riding pillar was roaring through the incense and smoke. Turn into the back alley of Shilongjun Road to reach the real texture. In the crack of the fading hometown hall, the sound of mahjong and the sound of Chao Opera tape leaked, and the old man argued in Chaozhou dialect about the "hometown" that he had never set foot. And the newly opened pearl milk tea shop on the corner, the Chinese clerk after 00 is explaining the three sweetness of Boba in Thai English. . It is recommended to avoid the heavy rain of the tour group. When the twilight first fell and the neon did not wake up, go to the century-old tea shop to buy a bag of jasmine. Watch the tin swaying in the hands of the owner who is covered with the old man's spots, the electronic calculator flashed red light on the side. This tearing moment, It is the most authentic metaphor for Chinatown. It is not worth the pilgrimage of the hunters, but if you want to salvage the survival epic of the separated communities in the smell of fish dew and gasoline, there is a truth hidden in every crack that is more fishy than a travel guide.

I’m from Hong Kong and Laudang in Bangkok's Chinatown serves amazing dim sum! The dumplings are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly steamed. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly service make it a must-visit. A delicious taste of Hong Kong in the heart of Bangkok!
Yaowarat, or Bangkok Chinatown, is another place that one should not missed paying a visit while in Bangkok. Lots of tasty food and many things to see and buy while there, all at very affordable prices. Nearest MRT station is Wat Mangkon station.
An old Chinese street, but also in which we can see that the living environment and architectural features of our ancestors in Taizhong in that era are also worth looking at. The street is a little dirty, but it's a little intimate. A lot of people buy it as if the market buyer chain store is like going to a Buddhist temple at the end of the road and then entering a little bit is the bus and train station.
When I finished eating, I remembered that at the Saphan Taksin station of BTS, I stepped down to the opposite direction of Boat Station and asked where the cash exchange bank was. You can see from a path that the mushroom soup is super delicious and absolutely no worse than the Dongyin Gong soup. Yes, it's a shopping mall opposite here. Ask about mushroom soup and you'll find it.
Chinatown is located on Yaowarat Road and Charoen Kung Road, where stores are clustered and groceries are available from north to south. On the Traimit Road at the end of Yaohuali Road, there is a solemn Buddhist temple called Daimit Temple or Golden Buddhist Temple. Its body is made of pure gold. It is 3 meters high and weighs 500 kilograms. It is said that it is the largest golden Buddha statue in the world. Compared with other parts of Bangkok, coming to this Chinatown and seeing the Chinese character signs and colorful lights in the streets gives you the feeling of Thailand and Hong Kong. Having been to the famous T K seafood twice, I feel good and have to queue up. Maybe there are too many guests. It's small and narrow, and the food is neither cheap nor big bowl. I was sweaty and tired. I had to eat seafood in the air-conditioning room, so I didn't complain. The local products here are dazzling. One by one, the guests, especially Lin Zhenxiang's shop, are crowded with sweepers. It feels like they don't need money. Ha-ha. A lot of things on the street are afraid to buy at random. They are too cheap to be fake. Street snacks are good. Here I have eaten superb PDUDDING STICKY RICE, only 10 BAHT one, which is sold by AUNTY of a handcart. No, you can come here and experience Thailand like Hong Kong.
One of the main features of Chinatown is that the whole street's billboards are in Chinese, the shop staff can speak Chinese, and the snacks and food they buy are Chinese food. Chinese people bring Chinese food to Thailand, such as sausage powder and porridge. It's very good to taste these Guangdong snacks in foreign countries. At night, the streets here are really busy. It's suitable for people to come to eat at night. They must come to eat. Because the boat had not been there long ago, we need to take a bus from Chinatown to Kaoshan Road. If not, we can ask Chinatown Chinese. I remember that bus No. 1 can walk back to Kaoshan Road near the Grand Palace. The local Chinese are very willing to help.
It's rather hot. Chinatown is very busy. All kinds of small grocery stores and special stores are too numerous to see. Most of them come here for a good meal. Seafood Street is almost full. There is also a pig soup restaurant on the street. Dinner time is crowded with people. Snacks are full of various flavors waiting for you to choose. ~
