Welcome to BangkokType — a little space where I share my love for the unique and vibrant typography found all across Bangkok.

Exploring the beauty of Bangkok, one sign at a time.


This signboard is truly an antique gem, found in the heart of Chinatown. Unlike most shops that use standard Chinese typefaces, this pharmacy sign features beautifully hand-painted Chinese calligraphy, elegant, flowing, and full of character. The small Thai script beneath adds a subtle local touch, but without it, you’d easily mistake this for a signboard straight out of 1940s or ’50s China.
