Taking at short walk from Yaowarat's Chinatown to Phahurat's
little India is like taking a transcendental journey between
two different worlds. Inhabited by Thai people of Indian origin,

offering North Indian cuisine. Alternatively, other subcontinental
foods such as
Punjabi and Pakistani are also plentifully available. A
wholesale and retail market for textiles, fabrics, clothing,
sarongs, etc, some from Thailand others from around Asia.
