Dragon Town
A interesting area of Bangkok called DragonTown where a portion of the houses and shops are of a Chinese design, whilst only across the road it is the normal Thai look. Designed it appears by a homesick Chinese architect, then subsequently left empty, and you have the Dragon Town experience. Built a few years ago in Bangkok’s Chula district as a shopping and entertainment complex, presumably for the millions of Chinese tourists who used to visit Bangkok and for the students at nearby Chulalongkorn University, Dragon Town never quite took off and the few businesses that did open up there have now closed down. With its empty alleyways, abandoned shophouses & restaurants, and numerous colourful walls & doorways, the complex is now little more than a playground for urban and street photographers
