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.

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,

Zaew is one of local favourite noodle place in Sukhumvit 49. They have been around for almost four decades, opening from early breakfast until late lunch time. 

Old school but passionate, the Rex hotel is located on Sukhumvit road, a common tourist destination. I can feel my sweet childhood memories here. Its decoration is rich with old-fashioned style; furniture, wallpaper, key, swimming pool, garden, and so on. The hotel reminds me of those movies from 20 years ago when our parents had puppy love. If you are bored with modern hotels, I would recommend Rex Hotel for your next stay in Bangkok.

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.
