Eating Street food in Little India & Chinatown in glorious Bangkok! Subscribe to our channel: https://goo.gl/2OsFKV Check out yesterday's vlog: https://youtu.be/nPTfZLZpiNE In this video, I explore Bangkok Thailand from Lumpini park (a popular hangout with locals) to the streets of Little India (also known as Paharat Market). Lumpini park is a beautiful green space located in the center of the city which is teeming with picnic-goers and people trying to escape the noise. One neat fact about Lumpini park is that there are many monitor lizards that stroll the grounds. There is an artificial lake in which you can take a plastic swan around in a pedal boot for a nominal fee. Built in 1920s by King Rama VI as a royal park, the park has since been deemed a public space. Named after the birthplace of Buddha, the park houses a beautiful King Rama VI statue as well as library. It's an integral part of Bangkok's green spaces and provides a sanctuary for those looking for clean air and a relaxing atmosphere. Paharat Market in Bangkok Thailand is also known as Little India. This ethnic community comprised of predominantly Indians use to be an enclave for Vietnamese immigrants. Following a fire that broke out in 1898, the road was repaved and area was renamed to Paharat. For over a century, the Sikh community has boosted the Thai economy with their textile trading center. Chockfull of little restaurants and local vendors, Little India is a great place to try traditional India street food such as samosas and desserts. Paharat Market is the perfect quarter to stroll around and take in the sights and sounds of all the wonderful Indian shops. From fruit vendors to clothing booths, Little India has something for everyone. Visiting Paharat Market is sort of like a taking a trip to India. It's best to visit this area in the afternoon so that you can navigate your way around the various alleyways. Exploring the alleyways is a fun way to get familiar with the area and to discover restaurants that you might otherwise pass on the main street. There are all many malls such as India Emporium which offer a great selection of Indian handicrafts and clothing. You can get to Paharat Market from Chinatown. Simply take the BTS skytrain to the Saphan Taksin BTS Station, and then take a river taxi over to Chinatown. You can walk from Chinatown to Little India in around 15 minutes. If you are up for a long day, you can even combine Chinatown with Paharat Market (although exhausting, it is also exhilarating).
