#CanadaFlightEvent It's the same Chinatown, but from some part, it's so flashy and noisy that it seems like all the Bangkok residents are running out, but when I came in here, I thought I came to the wrong place. All the stores were closed and there was no one walking on the street, so I was a little scared for a moment.

#CanadaFlightEvent Chinatown Gate is also called Paifang and is a large and ornate Chinese gate. It marks the entrance to Chinatown and is said to have been built in 1999 to honor King Bhumibol. It is also an important landmark, so many people take pictures.

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent It doesn't matter where you start in Talatnai, but just by going near there, you can feel that Talatnai Alley is starting. Last time, I came from the alley of the Sheraton Hotel, and there was a mural there, and this time, I came from the Hua Lamphong side, but after seeing the cute murals in a store, I thought I should go here. 22 ถ. เจริญกรุง ��ขวงตลาดน้อย เขตสัมพันธวงศ์ กรุงเทพมหานคร 10100

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent #BangkokTravel If you are looking for a tourist destination where you can see how people live and where it is not decorated or polished, I recommend visiting Talat Noi Alley. If you find it difficult to come here on purpose, I recommend coming here thinking of it as a Hong Xiang Kong cafe. Even the parasols on the juice stalls are refreshing. There are also foreigners who ride bicycles and do self-tours.
