Join me on an incredible walking tour through Bangkok's vibrant Chinatown! After living in Bangkok for a year, I finally discovered this hidden gem and I can't believe I waited so long. From the moment you see those iconic red lanterns lighting up the streets, you'll understand why this is quickly becoming my new favorite area in the city.
