点评:It's always fun visiting Chinatown in major cities. We've seen some (e.g. NYC, SF, Melbourne, London).
This one - even though I've been in Bangkok some times - I haven't visited yet. Until now.
Took a boat up-river and got out at the "Ratchawong" station. Just a short Tuk-Tuk ride away from Chinatown.
Most of the action is right on Yaowarat Road. It's loud, it's busy. It's hustling and bustling. Endless restaurants, shops and food stalls. And all the traffic as well. It's bright, it's colourful. And it's pretty much fun!
Don't miss out on some more interesting side streets as well. But: The quality of food and restaurants really is very mixed here. You can get some cheap and cheerful meal. But there were some other stalls we've tried that were underwhelming at best. But as a whole experience Chinatown is a fun thing to do.
On Soi Yaowarat (side street) you find some cheaper and more exotic stuff. Also some fried insects, spiders and scorpions. Which is more of a tourist thing. But if you're into that...
A place I'd recommend is "Seng Shark' Fin" right in the middle at the main road of Yaowarat. We didn't eat Sharks Fin (I'd never do that), but they have great dishes on their menu. Fish Maw soup was delicous. It might sound a bit adventurous, but is actually very very good. A main ingredient is the dried fish swim bladder. Try it before you judge it - I loved it.
From all the areas we've been in the past days, Chinatown was the one with clearly the most international visitors. I wouldn't come here every day. But once every trip to Bangkok for sure.
翻译:逛大城市的唐人街总是很有趣。我们去过一些地方(比如纽约、旧金山、墨尔本、伦敦)。
虽然我去过曼谷几次,但一直没去过唐人街。直到今天。
我们乘船沿河而上,在“拉差旺”(Ratchawong)站下船。从那里坐嘟嘟车很快就能到唐人街。
大部分热闹的景象都集中在耀华力路(Yaowarat Road)上。这里喧闹拥挤,熙熙攘攘,到处都是餐厅、商店和小吃摊。当然,还有熙熙攘攘的车流。这里灯火通明,色彩缤纷,充满了乐趣!
也别错过一些更有意思的小巷。不过:这里的食物和餐厅质量参差不齐。你可以找到一些价格实惠、味道不错的餐点。但我们也尝试过一些摊位,最多只能说差强人意。但总的来说,唐人街之旅还是很有意思的。
在耀华力路巷(Soi Yaowarat)上,你会发现一些更便宜、更奇特的商品。还有一些油炸昆虫,比如蜘蛛和蝎子。这更像是游客才会点的东西。不过,如果你喜欢的话……
我推荐一家位于耀华力路主干道中心的“Seng Shark' Fin”餐厅。我们没有吃鱼翅(我绝对不会吃),但他们菜单上的菜品都很棒。鱼鳔汤非常美味。听起来可能有点冒险,但实际上味道非常好。这道汤的主要原料是干鱼鳔。尝尝再下结论——我非常喜欢。
在我们过去几天去过的所有地方中,唐人街显然是国际游客最多的地方。我不会每天都来这里,但每次来曼谷肯定会来一次。
