## Caption

The most unique and interesting neighbourhood in Bangkok, that you’ve probably never heard about; This is Kudi Chin! 🥮

If you’re tired of the touristy spots in the city, want to see something unique, enjoy places with a fascinating history, or love to find good food as you travel - then add this to your Bangkok itinerary! 

Back in the 1700’s the king of Thailand gifted a piece of land in Bangkok to the Portuguese people who helped them during the sacking of Ayuthaya (the old capital). Portuguese soldiers and traders settled here, and built a strong community alongside Thai, Muslim, and Chinese. 

The Portuguese brought aspects of their culture to this new neighbourhood and mixed it with Thai culture to create unique blend of food, faith, and architecture. Descendents of the first settlers have worked hard to preserve their stories & history, creating a private museum you can visit to learn about how they built the community. 

You can try unique Thai / Portuguese cakes and dishes, including incredible pastries and proper pastel de nata! 

Watch the reel to see what to do during your day trip here, and comment KUDIJIN for my Google maps list with evrything I’ve mentioned already pinned for you! 

What do you think, is this up your street?
