No, we are not talking about the redlight district around Nana Plaza. We want to show you a hotspot for urban people, a small soi off Rama IV where old Chinatown buildings have been renovated and turned into art spaces, cool bars, cozy cafés, fine shophouses and boutique hotels. This is Soi Nana, a five-minute walk from MRT Hua Lamphong. "Remember, the street is a neighbourhood with people who live and work there, so be sure to have fun but also respect the locals", writes Bangkok Post. "The coolest road in Chinatown, perhaps the city", adds TimeOut Bangkok. See Soi Nana impressions on #MyKrungthep Pinterest.
Tep Bar: 69-71 Soi Nana, Maitri Chit Road. In this former school building you can attend to a Thai traditional music and ranad (Thai xylophone) live show and drink different kinds of yadong (herbal liquor).
