The engine hums low as your tuk-tuk slips through a web of neon and shadow, the Chao Phraya river daring you to follow its curve under bridges and past lantern-lit temples. Street vendors call the rhythm; spices lift out into the humid air. You feel the city’s pulse move from Thonburi’s quieter riverbanks into the concentrated energy of Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown.
