Taksin Bridge has connected Thonburi and Sathorn for more than 35 years. The area around the bridge is an old community where Bangrak Market, the shopping destination for foreigners in the past, is located (Now, the area is turned into Robinsin shopping mall). We gather you what's happening in the area from the Bridge straight to Charoenkrung, the first asphalt road in Bangkok
A neon-lit logo is probably the only thing with color worth mentioning in this intimate little café. Everything else is washed in, well, white. Despite the stark setting, the ambiance manages to be neither clinical nor sterile, and instead has a casual and inviting vibe that’s perfect for social gatherings, board-gaming or sinking into a chair with your favorite book.
Early birds can enjoy scrumptious bites like Spinach and Cheese (B79) and Scramble Eggs (B69), while the lunch crowd can enjoy a flavorful carbonara with bacon (B120). Drinks include coffee, tea, smoothies and fizzy Italian soda. We opted for the iced Americano (B65), a delightful drink that doesn’t skimp on the coffee flavor, and a creamy banoffee cake, which disappeared quickly as soon as it was served on our table.
If you'd rather not brave the long queues at famed Charoenkrung dim sum parlor Tuang by Chef Yip, why not try out the equally competent dim sum bites at Little Dragon? Located a few steps away from Soi Charoenkrung 44, the eatery serves 14 kinds of dim sum, (B40 each), including hakao, shrimp shumai, fried tofu skin and Emperor Salted Egg (minced pork topped with salted egg). We give the lattermost option the biggest thumbs up.
Situated at the Bangrak intersection, Charoenkrung Café Bar is easily recognizable by its gigantic eye-catching signage. The café has become a hotspot for casual rendezvous and people-watching. Drop by in the afternoon to sip reasonably priced coffee (B85) while listening to soothing jazz tunes, or indulge in a chilled glass of beer or a refreshing cocktail in the evening.
Meaning “black chicken” in Chinese, Heijii (pronounced hey-ji) is unarguably Charoenkrung’s hottest (and hippest) new café. The café mixes retro-Chinese elements with industrial chic interiors to realize a trendy setting where millennials can sip caffeinated drinks while browsing through or filling up their own Instagram feeds. Owner Praphart Rasinanont chose Charoenkrung for sentimental reasons—the neighborhood still retains a strong ties to the old Chinese community and Soi Charoenkrung 43 was the place where his parents fell in love.
Patrons can choose among a small variety of coffee drinks, including a cold brew (black, B105; white with milk, B115) that’s been processed for sixteen hours, and a special blend (B125) that uses premium Brazilian beans.
Freshly brewed tea is also served in a pot as iced tea (B125). For something more familiar, the Thai Milk Tea (B85)is intensely flavored and does not suffer from the addition of too much sugar. If caffeine-injected brews are not your cup of tea, the Hong Kong Papaya Milk (B85), which is made with chunks of papaya, is a tad sweet and refreshing treat. Pair your drinks with the Financier with Kumquat Sauce, an auspiciously named treat drizzled with sauce made from home-grown kumquat.
All coffee items are made manually with an Aeropress, which explains why you won’t see any machines at the coffee bar. Also worth mentioning is how the café uses biodegradable plastic cups and paper lids for each take-away serving (without screen-pr
Situated next to a camera shop called “AV Camera,” this almost-44-year-old restaurant makes Bangkok a better place with their crispy pan fried oysters and mussels omelette. Here, they only use fresh ingredients combining with their signature crunchy yet soft taxture of the pancake.
This restaurant has been around for decades and is praised as one of the best places in Bangkok for stewed pork knuckles. The soft and tender pork is served atop rice with flavorful gravy,spicy sauce, and boiled egg—heavenly!
A small street vendorthat’s one of the few places in Bangkok to have authentic Cantonese pork balls. You can choose between spicy and non-spicy options, but we do recommend the latter. Also, try their deep-fried Chinese buns stuffed with BBQ pork or sweet cream.
This year’s edition of the city’s most prominent art and design festival is A LOT bigger than ever. What started humbly as a design event in Charoenkrung a few years back has now expanded into an extravaganza that will take place in nine neighborhoods across Bangkok. Bangkok Design Week (BKKDW) is set for 4 to 12 February, and features more than 500 exhibitions, talks, workshops, and activities.
Following this year’s theme of “Urban-Nice-Zation”, the city’s artists and most creative folks have come up with showcases that ponder how we can create a liveable city that benefits everyone.
Get a glimpse here.

The reputation of seventh-edition phones out in the market have been quite discreditable. One is a ticking time bomb while another is an audio jack-free device that’s the price of a roundtrip to Tokyo. So, what else in the market is up for grabs? Tons, apparently.
Huawei P9
You will buy the P9 for its camera. Before the Samsung Note 7 and iPhone 7 came out, people were hyping up Huawei P9’s camera, which highlights a dual-lens feature co-engineered by world-leading camera maker, Leica. The collaboration gives you get beautiful portrait shots with impressive depth of field, plus balanced sharpness when you shoot in monochrome. B16,990

Google Pixel XL
Google has ditched Nexus, its smartphone series, for a brandnew line called Pixel, claimed to be the best Android phone in the market to date. The inaugural model, co-created by HTC, comes with the built-in Google Assistant (equivalent to the iPhone’s Siri), a battery that supposedly lasts all day, a 12.3 megapixel camera and unlimited storage for your photos and videos on Google Cloud. B20,445 (not yet available in Thailand)

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Dear Samsung fans, now that the Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled, your options are either to wait for the Galaxy S8 (it’s supposed to come out later next year) or take another look at the Galaxy S7 Edge, which, with its handy size, sleek look and cutting-edge features, remains one of the best smartphones in the market. B26,900.
