Dark alleyways with creepy old men and smoking teapots; the clacking of Chinese chess pieces and choppy conversations in Tae Chew; tired prostitutes and lotus bud-shaped coffins; bespectacled dogs and beggars; these are the sights and sounds of Yaowarat, Bangkok\u2019s Chinatown. Unlike other Chinatowns around the world, which are often little more than culturally-themed shopping centers, Bangkok\u2019s clings to its roots and continues to be a living, breathing, albeit gritty community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Austin Bush<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After graduating from the University of Oregon in 1999, Austin Bush received a scholarship to study Thai at Chiang Mai University, and has remained in Thailand ever since.
