FOR THE BANGKOK EXPERTS:)

Is Sampeng Lane shops (China Town) open on sundays??? or 90 percent closed like the Jewellry Centre in Silom???
Also what about the shops in Phaurat???
Would appreciate if someone living near this area knows.

Yeah their open everyday. Two times, 7am to 4pm and 2am- 6am. The 2am time has further discounts on stuff sold by venders outside the closed shops.

Yes its open on sundays, in fact its very busy on sundays. However I dont believe Sampeng is open at night.

Not sure about Phaurat, only been there during the day. Not the most picturesque part of town.

Ok, so I went down today and checked for you. Sampeng lane shops close around 5-6 on Sundays.

Well Chinese food comes in all shapes and sizes. We dont frequent any of the sharksfin places for obvious reasons, and I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food in general, however we do go to a small place on Yaowarat road (number 442) which is between a gold shop and a 7-11 opposite the White Orchid hotel.

Does the best crispy pork I have ever had, thats the main reason we go there. Although more of a lunch time place than dinner.
