We arrived at Yaowarat by ferry from pier 13 (off Khao San road) around 5 pm in the late afternoon. Yaowarat - Bangkok's Chinatown, centered on Th Yaowarat and Th Charoenkrung, is an easy walk from Hualamphong Station and the Si Phraya Express Boat pier 5 (near River City shopping mall). Our purpose of visiting the Chinatown is not for touristy shopping or sight seeing. Shopping is not particularly rewarding at Yaowarat as most of the shops along the street were selling food or gold. So for average travelers like us, our focus would be solely on food!

As of our last visit to Yaowarat, we had been to a very famous seafood restaurant which is serving simple, fresh, tasty southern-Chinese recipes and the best seafood in the area. The restaurant was named T&K. For many, this is one of the best seafood restaurant at Chinatown given with their reasonable price and the quality of food they serve.

T&K Seafood Restaurant from outside! You can see from the picture that so many staff were preparing seafood outside the restaurant as they were char grilling seafood like shrimps and crabs!

T&K restaurant from inside. There is nothing much to look at to be honest but it would be a BIG mistake to be deterred by the rough interior. It is all about the food and brisk service in T&K!
