So we met up to hang out, eat, and explore and talk about a little more serious subject - the endangered Charoen Chai Community (ชุมชนเจริญไชย เยาราช) in Bangkok’s Yaowarat, Chinatown.\n\nBefore exploring the neighborhood though, we stopped of course to eat some nearby Thai street food.\n\nJay Eng (ร้านเจ๊เอ็ง) - Kuay teow lawd boran (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวหลอดโบราณ) is what this famous street sells. It’s an ok dish, not my absolute favorite, but it’s not a common dish to find in Bangkok either - this old type of style - it’s well worth trying out. Their fried fish cakes (ทอดมันปลา) are awesome.\nPrice - 35 THB ($1.07) per plate \n\nSatay (สะเต๊ะ) - Next just down the road, and it actually has the same owner, we had some pretty fantastic satay. I especially enjoyed the liver.\nTotal price - 220 THB ($6.74)\n\nCharoen Chai Community (ชุมชนเจริญไชย เยาราช) - What we really came to explore was Bangkok’s Charoen Chai Community (ชุมชนเจริญไชย เยาราช). This community is threatened by development. Now, Michael and I both know how development is a good and necessary part of any city, however it’s also good to preserve amazing living pieces of history. This community is one of the last Thai Chinese communities in Bangkok that has remained almost the same for a hundred years.\n\nKhao Tom Jay Suay (ข้าวต้มเจ๊สวย) - For dinner we headed to one of the best Thai Chinese street food restaurant right across the street from the community - right next to the community. It had been a few years since I’d eaten there and the food was as good as I had remembered.\n\nAsian date mussels (หอยกะพงผัดต้นหอม)\nStink beans with shrimp (ผัดเผ็ดสะตอกุ้ง)\nDaylilies with crispy pork (ผัดดอกไม้จีนสดหมูกรอบ)\nSilver barb, pickled mustard greens (ปลาตะเพียบต้มเกี่ยมฉ่าย)\nSoup with pickled plum (แกงจืดบ๋วยหมูสับ)\n\nTotal price - 450 THB ($13.78)\n\nBig thanks to Michael for hanging out and walking around!
