Bangkok's Little India is TASTY - #23 of 25 Things To Do in Bangkok
Bangkok's Pahurat aka Little India. This is #23 on the Top 25 Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand. @MarkWiens visited this area 10 years ago and there's been one major change, which you will see at the end of this Bangkok Travel Guide. Cost of Living, Ong Ang Walking Street, Street Food, Shopping, Indian Food and a Temple. It's all in this video and this is a part of Bangkok you should explore.

My love for Indian food has grown to the point it overtakes all other Asian food to just nudge out my other favorites such as Thai. We are planning another Thailand visit in September 2023 and your 25 top list is being written down everyday. This Indian area is a must. Also planning on a week in Kuala Lumpur for many reasons but mainly because of its Indian influence and obvious Indian food choices in what appears to be another awesome Asian city.

Ong Ang Canal (in this clip area) in the past before you create RWFY we call them Saphanlek (Iron Bridge) coz they had iron plate cover all the canal and they also have game console and toy shop above the canal. But in 2016 they were gone. Game and toy Shop have moved to Mega plaza. Goverment change them back to real canal. You never see the tree in this place if you come before 2016. lol

I went to Pahurat a few days ago to get some spices, sandalwood soap and eat Dahl and Indian food so went to the Indian Emporium.On the top floor is a food court with both Indian vegetarian food and also South Indian food such as Masala Dosa. I used to come here years ago and at that time also eat at a chai stall along by the canal. Nice to see the update.Will check out that samosa place next time I visit.Look forward to the rest of the count down and interesting things that might pop up that I don't know. Thanks. .

I definitely think Pahurat needs to be number #18 on this list, its a real hidden gem and the best place to eat Indian food inexpensive, and the quality is pretty good and authentic. I visited Tony's restaurant back in 2012 after Mark made his video, the kitchen used to be on the opposite side of the pathway next to the canal, last time I visited was in 2019 and they were still working of the walkway improvement.

I did my first trip to china town and ended up in the Indian textile emporium, was looking for street food, unfortunately my visit turned out to be during a public holiday and I was there before 12:00 in the afternoon so not a lot of action. Maybe my next visit I should try again for an evening food run.

Added to-do list: Tony's in Pahurat, try Samoa, check out renovated canal 🙂 Excellent work as usual: I can only imagine how much time it takes to get all this filmed and edited each day. Here's a request when you're going to mention the ubiquitious 'floating markets'. First time in BK, like me most head out to Damnoen Saduak, the most famous one... which is like a tourist trap... 2nd time I opted for Amphawa and Khlong Lat Mayom (which I both already vastly prefered to Damnoen Saduak)... but there are many more small scale and less known local Thai favorites.I see a lot of lists with floating markets on the internet... it's hard to pick one. So let's ask you for the top 25 list... what is your favorite floating market near BK, preferably with as less souvenir stalls as possible and a nice choice of Thai food.
Was here a few years ago during the day but not in the evening, I can see that this is a must place to be in the evening, busy and great atmosphere.. and all the street food .. aroi aroi

Im currently planning my first trip to Thailand sincev3 years. I left there as covid was starting. Ive since been 3 years no alcohol. The funny thing is ive lost count how many times I was in Thailand. Needless to say most of what i remember from over the years was bars restaurants and girls. I was actually thinking to myself recently, how strange it would be to return to Thailand and NOT spend every day and every dollar on beer and girls ? What to do ??? This has just solved all my widhes. Seeing the real Bangkok through CLEAR EYES 😂❤. I can't wait to see it from a new sober perspective. Thanks soo so much for the groundwork you have done so we can land in BKK and get straight into it. No homework required... I hated homework ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
