Whether you're visiting Bangkok or you live here, Chinatown is one of the best places in the city to get away and experience a culture within a culture. I go to Chinatown as often as possible, sometimes going for a coffee, other times to shop, but almost always a trip to Chinatown includes eating. Today's video explores the Shangri-la Restaurant on Yaowarat Road, the main road in Chinatown. I have taken my mother, sister, wife and kids, and many friends to this restaurant and the food and service are always top-notch. Plus, it's relatively inexpensive.
For those who yearn for Durian, there are mobile stands here and there
Shark Fin soup anyone?
Lottery tickets, Buddhist amulets, fruit...this sidewalk has it all
