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.


Wow—what a vintage gem, both the shop and its signage. Heng Seng specializes in handmade Chinese prayer cushions for ceremonial use, a rare tradition that’s hard to come by these days. Their story is just as fascinating as their craft. I’ve included an article from the Bangkok Post and a link to their products if you’re interested. But if you’re ever in Talat Noi, do stop by. Just like the sign itself, everything in the shop feels like a journey back in time.

I absolutely love this signage, the Chinese characters reflect the aesthetics of 1930s–40s China, and even the Thai script beautifully complements the overall style. Truly a stunning piece of heritage.
If you’re interested in the story behind this shop.
