Chinatown

After enjoying lizards and kitties, we walked to Silom MRT station and made our way to Chinatown. Starting off at Hualamphong station, we first went to Odean Noodles where I had their famous crab noodles, after which we went to look for vegetarian food for Jeff. The first two vegetarian spots we looked for didn't really fit our tastes, but the third time was the charm at Lee Jae Vegan Restaurant. Located in an alleyway, Jeff had an amazing pad see iew here.

After lunch, we went out for dessert at Talat Noi (see next entry) before returning and walking through the area to get to the Giant Swing. Most of that journey went through the Chinatown Walking Alley. There, Jeff tried to buy slippers but no shops had them in size 46!

When I lived here in the 1990s, it took a lot of effort to get here because of the traffic. I marvel at how easy it is to get here now with the subway in operation.Читать далее
