Japan Town

The great thing about living in Bangkok is stumbling onto areas which you never knew about, showing yet another face to this amazing city. The other day we decided to go to what was rather mysteriously labelled as "Japan Food" at Sukhumvit Soi 49/4 (or Thonglor 13) on our Nancy Chandler map. In fact the whole road is full of karaoke joints and Japanese restaurants.

One bit is even called Japan Town - a little complex full of restaurants. Needless to say, we tucked in...

I knew that Sukhumvit had its fair share of Japanese expats but thought that the area in Silom (Little Tokyo?) pretty much had that covered. I should have known they'd be a dedicated area right next to the residents!
