citylikeyou — On Lok Yun — Bangkok by Naruemon Puriso

A charming old-world café, On Lok Yun has been opened to coffee lovers for over 80 years. My favorite menu is steamed bread with custard. It’s not too sweet and the bread is very soft like cotton. They also have Thai-style American breakfast, soft drinks, and toasts with various toppings. My mom is a big fan of this café. Once you try this place, you will forget about those brand coffee shops for sure.

I wanted to be an artist since I was little. I told my mother that I wanted to be a painter, but she stopped me and my imagination was stuck after that. At university, I studied English Literature, my favorite author is Haruki Murakami. I have a strong passion for film photography and travel. Analog photography is like me, natural, authentic and sincere. I dream that I’ll travel the world and take photos, publish a photo book and run an exhibition. I am currently working as a gallery manager and living a happy life in Bangkok.

Bangkok / Area

I love walking around Bangkok Old Town on a sunny day. I grew up in small buildings, only two to three floors, but now all I can see are big buildings such as hotels and condominiums. I see construction sites everyday. When I want to relax my eyes and lungs, I usually go to an old town. I never feel tired or bored. I can walk from dusk till dawn and stop at an old pharmacy and drink cold and sweet chrysanthemum tea.

Bangkok / Park

A public park in an old city area, Romaneenart Park is supported by Her Royal Highness. I like to come to this park after a long walk around the old town. The park was built on an old prison grounds. So, there is a prison museum inside. It’s very scary to know how cruel prisoners in the past were tortured.

Bangkok / Department Store

The Big C in Saphan Khwai, has reasonable prices, and is well stocked. Even picked up some t-shirts and underwear!

Bangkok / Bar

A cozy small bar for music lover, regularly presents high quality live gigs.

Bangkok / Street

Phahonyothin Rd is a long main road that runs through my neighborhood, Ari, in Bangkok. There are lots of offices and shops and restaurants along and off this road, and beware because it's always busy during rush hour,
