  • Favorite Thing: 19th century Bangkok was laced with canals, giving the capital the designation 'Venice of the East'. Surviving canals, and the Chao Phraya River (River of Kings) provide memorable traditional waterborne way-of-life that has remained essentially unchanged over the centuries. A pleasant way to explore the city.

    Location: near World Trade Center, 5 mins walk from BTS Chit Lom Station.

    Red Light Districts: BANGKOK GAY SCENE - Silom Soi 4

  • Favorite Thing: The center of Bangkok's gay scene is without doubt Silom. Soi 4 is considered "less gay" than Soi 2. Lotsa bars, restaurants, A-Go-Go Boy, Karaokay, and even Art Gallery. Slightly tamer, more 'hetero' entertainment here.

    Silom Soi 4 is just 5 mins from the Saladaeng BTS Station.

    China Town: China Town
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bangkok China Town
  • China Town, Bangkok (THAILAND)
  • by vigi
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: A few streets down HuaLamPong is Bangkok's Chinatown. This is an old business center covering a large area. There are many alleys that are full of shops selling all types of merchandise. It has been the main center for trading by the Chinese since they were moved from their old site some 200 years ago. Although many staff in Chinese restaurant speaks Chinese, most residents there, while they might claim Chinese ancestry, speak only Thai and think of themselves as Thai. China town is a places for good and cheap Chinese food: Seafood, Charks Fin, and Birds Nest.

     Patpong was great for the night market... and at first the "you wanna see smoking pussy" was amusing, but it did get the better of me. The markets are worth it though... great to read through your pages!!
