He alahele māhele maʻamau ia, he mall waena waena ia, he meaʻai maʻamauʻo ka muliwai i piha me ka hoʻolālā. ʻO ia e pili ana i nā mea e ho'āʻo neiʻo Asiatic, Bangkok kahiʻoihana kūʻai hou loa o kaʻaoʻao hema o Chinatown. Inā he leo nui loa ka makemake, aia nō, akā, mai hōʻoleʻoe i ka hoʻolālāʻana i kahi awakea a ahiahi paha.
Ināʻoe eʻimi ana i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻihoʻi mai i nā hoaaloha a me nāʻohana, kahiʻahaʻaina eʻai ai i kaʻaina awakea aʻike i kahi hōʻike a wahi e hele ai i waho me ka nānāʻana i ke kūlanakauhale a me ka muliwai,ʻo Asiatique kahi mea nui e hele ai .
Hiki ke loaʻa iāʻoe ma ka halihaliʻana i ka lehulehu, ka pilinaʻohana, a laweʻoe iāʻoe i kahi o ke kūlanakauhale iʻikeʻoleʻia e nā poʻe o waho. A ma muli o ka hoʻokipaʻana i nā malihini a me nā poʻe o ka'āina,ʻaʻoleʻoe e manaʻo ua likeʻoe i kahi māhele kaʻahele kaʻahele.
Hikiʻia ma Charoen Krung Road, ma mua o ka makahiki 1900, ma kahi o ka kūkulu houʻia i kūkuluʻia i kūkuluʻia kahi kūkulu hou i kūkuluʻia,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo Asiatique e'ākala i nā kiʻi ikaika o ka moʻolelo kuʻuna Thailand. ʻO ka hapa nui o ke kūʻaiʻana ma loko o nā hale hoʻokipa nui i hoʻolālāʻia e hana hou i nā hale kūʻai nui i loaʻa iāʻoe ma nā wahi o Bangkok. Aia kekahi pūnaewele kaʻa keʻokeʻo a me nā kiʻi o nā mea hoʻokele pedicab a me nā laikiʻoihana kālai lāʻau. E like me ka mea e hōʻike ai nā mea hoʻoholo, nā manaʻo o nā mea hoʻomohala o Asianiki i kahi lōʻihi loa, e ulu ana i ka "ʻoihana" iʻoi aku ka maikaʻiʻole e like me ke kipaʻana i kahi kahua hoʻolālā me kaʻoihana kūʻai nui ma mua o ka nānāʻana i kahi nani ma mua.

ʻO ka mea e mōhai aku ai -ʻo ia wale nō ka mall waho o ke kai piha me nā mea leʻaleʻa, kahi koho nui loa o nā wahi eʻai ai a me kahi hoʻolālā kūlani Thai loa. Ua hoʻonohonoho ponoʻia nā hale kūʻai makamae ma kekahi mahele, nā hale kūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma kahi'ē aʻe, kahi hoʻokolokoloʻai maʻamau a me nā haleʻaina kū hoʻokahi.
ʻO ka nui o nā hale kūʻai kūʻai āu eʻike ai ma Asia,ʻo ia ke alakaʻi pono'ī mai kahi kahiko o Suan Lum Night Market ma waho o ke alanui mai Lumphini Park. ʻO keʻano o kaʻoluʻolu, nā kāmaʻa ukana a me nāʻaʻahu, nā hale pāʻani mākaʻikaʻi, nā kāmela a me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo'ē aʻe (he nui a he nui nā'epani), akā kekahi mau lole loloa kiʻekiʻe aʻe i hanaʻia e ka hanaʻana i nā mea hoʻolale i ka manawa, Aia kekahi mau hale kūʻai e kūʻai aku i ka'āina āpau e hoʻolaha i nā huahana o ka moana a me nā wahi liʻiliʻi paha ma kahi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke hoʻomaha a loaʻa kahi massage a iʻole ka helehelena.
ʻO ka meaʻai, ka inu, a me ka ola
No kaʻai, inā makemakeʻoe e hoʻolilo i 100 baht i kaʻaina aiʻole 1,000 baht e loaʻa iāʻoe kekahi mea. E like me ka Old Night Market,ʻo kaʻai nui nui kahi hale hoʻokipa kūhalahala a me ka lehulehu o nā mea kūʻai e hāʻawi nui i nā meaʻai Thai. Ināʻoe eʻimi ana i kahi meaʻuʻukuʻole, aia kekahi mau haleʻaina i hoʻomahaʻia ma luna o ka honua (ka hapanui o nāʻaina o waena me Pizza Company a me nā haleʻaina Thai-Japanese) a, aia ma kaʻaoʻao o ke kahakai, he brewpub a me ka haleʻaina kai . Akā,ʻaʻole ponoʻoe e lilo i mea nui eʻoluʻolu i ka nānā nani o nā kiʻekiʻe Chao Phraya me Bangkok i ka'ākau no ka meaʻaʻohe mea e hoʻomaha iāʻoe mai ka hele waleʻana i ka muliwai.
No nā hoʻokipa,ʻo Asiatiqueʻelua mau hōʻike'oniʻoli'oniʻoli loa o Thailand.
ʻO ka mea mua,ʻo ka Joe Louis Puppet Theatre, ua nalowale kona hale i ka wā i paniʻia ai ka Poʻo Makuka mua, hōʻikeʻike i keʻano o ka pupula a Thai me ka hoʻouluʻana i nā puppeteers lakorn lek.

He nui nā leʻaleʻa o ka pō a he meaʻuʻuku hoʻi ma kahi o 1,000 baht ma ka tiketi, akā, he manawa hoʻokahi i loko o ka piha.
ʻO nā mea a pau, he paʻakikī ke hele hewa ma Asia.
ʻOiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole e loaʻa nā hōʻailona no kaʻoiaʻiʻo, akā ināʻoe eʻimi ana i kahi leʻaleʻa, kahi maikaʻi e noho ai i ke ahiahi e loaʻa iāʻoe kahi mea nui eʻai ai, kūʻai aʻike i laila.
