Street Photography in Bangkok, Thailand
Last month, my wife and I took a trip to Bangkok after spending some time in Vietnam. Compared to Vietnam, Bangkok felt much more modern and developed. The city has almost everything you’d expect from a modern metropolitan hub—shopping malls, efficient transportation, and vibrant nightlife.
Oops—almost forgot to mention that Bangkok is actually the capital city of Thailand! But beyond its modern look, Bangkok is incredibly rich in culture, local flavors, and unique architecture, which makes it one of my favorite places for street photography.
These few photos were taken during our visit to Chinatown, one of the most colorful and energetic parts of the city. Since it wasn’t a holiday and we came on a weekday, the streets were relatively quiet compared to what I had experienced during my previous visit before COVID-19.
Back then, the area was packed with life—crowds of both tourists and locals filled the streets. Many came not only to explore but to shop, as Chinatown is known for selling a wide variety of items at very affordable prices. From food to clothes to souvenirs, it’s a haven for bargain hunters and culture lovers alike.
Street food was everywhere—it was cheap, affordable, and easy to find around every corner. Personally, I found it delicious and definitely worth trying. However, not everyone may feel the same way. For example, my wife is quite picky when it comes to food and rarely eats street food, especially when the environment doesn’t look very clean. Still, for me, it's part of the adventure .
In a big city like this, people have to work hard just to survive. Many are incredibly dedicated and put in as much effort as they can—some even juggle multiple jobs or sell goods in different locations throughout the day. When it's not too busy, they try to squeeze in a short rest, even just a quick nap, to recharge before continuing their hustle.
Even this old ladies trying to sell mineral water for some bucks .
Moving vendors is everywhere . It doesnt matter that place was so busy with people . This vendors still can go trhough it to sell their stuff . Since it was not that busy , we can still see them move one place to another places without hustle.
I think thats all for today. thanks for stopping by . I hope you enjoy this series and see you tomorrow . Cheers.
Your street photography from Bangkok's Chinatown is fantastic! 💖 It's interesting how different it felt on a weekday compared to your pre-COVID visit... The lively scenes, affordable street food, and the dedication of the vendors truly capture the city's spirit ✨ Thanks for sharing 😊

I appreciate that you focused not just on the city’s infrastructure but on the people, the vendors, the quiet hustlers, the ones who keep the streets alive.
