Rabbit Hill - hidden speakeasy bar 📍- Yaowarat District. 1 Thanon Santiphap, Pom Prap, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok ⏰ - 5pm to 12am Ambiance - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highlights - craft beers Avg. Price per Person - 200฿‎ Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We chanced upon this quaint little bar while on our way to Chinatown Yaowarat for dinner. And we popped by after a hearty seafood dinner for some drinks & snacks to chill the night away. Rabbit Hill was a pleasant surprise once you enter the unassuming little red door. You’ll be greeted by live band and a sea of red. The interior decor is filled with red accents, dim lights, and packed with customers. It is a loft, we sat at the first floor so we can enjoy the live band. They have a good selection of draft beers, beers on tap and crafts beers! No cocktails or mocktails. They also serve a good selection of Chinese and Thai finger food to go with your beers. It is hard to hail a cab as the streets are pretty dark and quiet. Do get a grab or indriver on app before leaving the bar. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #本地遊 #cafe #bangkok #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #summervacation #2023travelwish

Bangkok Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the world. It is also, quite arguably, one of the best Chinatowns to visit as well. While many countries have Chinatowns, none compare to Bangkok’s Getting There - the best way to get to the heart of Chinatown is to take the MRT subway to the Hua Lamphong stop. Take exit one and you will be a short walk from Wat Traimit. You will also be a short taxi ride from the other must-see destinations in Bangkok's Chinatown. Attractions - Wat Traimit and Wat Mangkon Kamalawat are two temples found in Bangkok Chinatown. Wat Traimit, also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, houses the world’s largest gold statue. This statue is on the fourth floor of the temple, surrounded by beautiful Thai architecture. Wat Mangkon Kamalawat is Bangkok’s largest Chinese-Buddhist temple, with roots that go all the back to 1872. Hotels - Some of the best Chinatown / Yaowarat hotels in Bangkok are: ASAI Bangkok Chinatown Traveler rating: 5.0/5 Shanghai Mansion Bangkok Traveler rating: 4.5/5 W22 by Burasari Traveler rating: 4.5/5 Food & Restaurants - If you love seafood, then Chinatown is the place to be in Bangkok. Head to the famous Yaowarat Road after dark to find some of the best eats in the city. If you are not sure where to begin, just follow the crowd. If you see a herd of Thais eating at a certain stall, it is most likely because of the amazing food. Fai-Kaew Yao Wa-Rat is one seafood stall that draws in some of Bangkok’s biggest crowds. There are numerous dishes to choose from, including stir-fried crab and sweet and sour shrimp. The cook is a crowd pleaser, shooting flames high into the air while diners look on. #foodie #awesomepic

In Thailand there is a big place called Chinatown which most of the people are Thai and Chinese. this is the best place for you to go at night time. Along the street mostly the very happy thing to see is eating. Most of the people come here to drink and eat seafood. Also you can have some Chinese cake and Chinese noodle. I really love to eat the food here. in order to come here you can trade MRT which is underground train or come by bus. #thailandtravel #thailandchinatown

Had a fun night exploring and walking the streets of Chinatown. Never visited in the evening before and it turned out to be a great decision. The streets were busy and there were lots of street food and restaurant choices. Food and desserts we had there were all good. Visited a temple in the outskirts of Chinatown and had an experience donating “coffin”. Overall a great experience and night out! #chinatown #bangkok #thailand

This is a cafe located on Song Wat Road. It's a small, cozy place with a lovely and friendly owner. The cafe is called pieces space, and it features a signature dish of coconut ice cream sandwiched between bread. It's incredibly delicious and a must-try for anyone visiting. Besides the signature dish, there are also a variety of drinks to choose from. It's another cafe that I highly recommend.

Bangkok chinatown

#thailandtrip The China Town Night Market is probably located on the ground rail to Wat Mangkon Station. As night falls, the lights start to light up and the sound of quiet soil begins This is another 'new' Chinatown night market. There are special delicacies hidden near a small alley, let's explore which one conflicts with each other. Answer, there is also a street view of the same style as' Finding Cases in Chinatown '. Food recommendation 1. T&K seafood 5. NaiMong Thai charcoal fire pancake making: gecko 00-21:00 2. Legendary JEKPUI Thai curry rice 3. Mr. Gao Huan's food shop; Odianshuotun noodle shop 6. Roast deep-fried dough sticks.

This is a place everyone must pass by because it is Ang Yi, a secret bar for the Chinese community. Behind this door hides a beautiful cocktail bar. Every time you come, you will struggle to open the door correctly, haha, because this is the gimmick of this secret bar. Ang Yi bar incorporates the Chinese concept of Yaowarat into each of its drinks. The menu is presented in the form of a paper fan, which is already cool, right? But there are many more gimmicks waiting for us, such as strange drink names or cocktail ingredients we've never heard of. For example, pickled mustard greens and mala. Who would have thought these could be in a drink, haha. But I've tried almost everything, and they surprisingly go well together. Besides the unique ingredients, each glass has hidden gimmicks, like a piece of paper with candy to eat with the cocktail and a hidden message. If you're unsure about the ingredients, you can ask the friendly staff. They are very friendly and offer unlimited snacks. It's a fun way to have a date or chat with friends. P.S. The door is on the side, not in the middle.

Chinatown food 🥰

📍Laoteng The second floor is a restaurant but you will find a bar entrance on the third floor. I stumbled upon a hidden bar in Bangkok's Chinatown, where the entrance was disguised as a bookshelf. Inside, the cozy space radiated old-world charm. The cocktail menu was uniquely presented on a set of playing cards, adding to the playful, mysterious vibe. It was an unforgettable, secret escape. #voyagevibes
