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.


I’ve seen many handmade signages around Bangkok, but this one is particularly interesting. Why? Because it’s a diamond in the rough. It’s so tiny and understated, especially for a flashy jewelry shop. Would you even guess it’s a jewelry store just by looking at this sign? Probably not.

What makes it stand out is that it’s 100% hand-painted, with a mix of different typographic styles all packed into one small canvas. As a Chinese speaker, I can’t even identify one of the characters (the second one from right to left) but that mystery, combined with the handwritten touch, makes this sign all the more fascinating.
