If you want to change the atmosphere and take a walk in a historical area with unique charm this holiday, "Kudichin Community" is the destination we would like to recommend. This old neighborhood on the Chao Phraya River is descended from the Portuguese who immigrated and settled since the Thonburi period. They received land from King Taksin the Great. Visiting here is like going back in time to experience the intersection of Western and Eastern cultures that blend together perfectly through lifestyles, architecture, and faith that still maintains its beauty to this day.
The heart of visiting this area is the "Baan Kudichin Museum", a compact private museum that collects the history of Thai people of Portuguese descent completely. Inside, there are displays of ancient utensils and the history of settlement in Siam since the past. The building is a semi-concrete wooden house that gives a warm and friendly feeling. In addition to historical knowledge, the ground floor also has a cafe with a good atmosphere where you can sit and relax and watch the peaceful community life with sookjai Weekend, which is a rare charm in the bustling capital.
Another highlight that you must not miss when you arrive at Kudichin is to find the legendary delicious food, "Sappyek filling curry puff", an ancient recipe that has been passed down in the community. It is special in that pork or chicken is chopped and stir-fried with potatoes and intense spices until it blends together, giving a mellow, fragrant taste and a unique character different from general curry puffs. When eaten with fresh Ajat, it enhances the flavor very well. This holiday, don't forget to bring your camera and prepare your stomach, and come explore the hidden charm of the Kudichin community together. I guarantee that it will be a trip that is both full of knowledge and full of stomach for sure.
Once you're here, don't forget to support the community by buying Kudichin Farang sweets and Kuslang sweets as well.
