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

Magical Chinatown at Bangkok!

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

Chinese touch at the night of Sampeng

A week ago my relatives in Bangkok drove me to the famous Sampeng market, at where you would find a lot of China related stuffs from roof to ground. Eye-catching and bling-bling sign boards together with a typical hot weather at night, a bowl of traditional Thailand Kuay Jap kicked off our appetites at this old China Town in Bangkok. The portion of Kuay Jap was not large though, it was still tasty!😋 We went on to try another street stall. We ordered 4 dishes in total. Of course the dishes were good and delicious. However, since Sampeng market is a dirty and unclean place compared to other spots in Bangkok. There were many beggars around our open table begging for food and money, which was very off-putting.🤨 Moreover some weird snack-sellers would come near your table and asked for support and to buy their snacks with expensive prices, annoying.😒#sampeng #chinatown

Temples we run to

Had time to go Chinatown to pray to Er Ge Fong
