Another Foray Into Chinatown

After the Chao Phraya Sky Park, we walked a short distance over to Chinatown for some street food. Once there, we made a beeline for the alley housing Lee Jae Vegan where we both had their amazing pad see iew. While settling my bill, I had a short conversation with the matron of the establishment. She wanted to practice her Mandarin and I wanted to practice my Thai, so it was a somewhat bizarre conversation with her speaking in Mandarin and me responding in Thai!

After that, we made our way to Ann Guay Tiew Gua Kai for gua kai, which is a hard to find dish made of crispy fried flat noodles found only in this part of Chinatown and pretty much nowhere else. I had mine with egg and preserved squid.

After this second lunch, we made our way to Wat Mangkon station and back to our room for a little rest.

I am so pleased that Chinatown is now to accessible with the subway. When I lived in Bangkok, I loved to come here for the lively streets and the food, but getting here was such a pain at that time due ot the traffic.Leer más
