Ancient Cham Food and Old Mysteries in Bangkok’s Silk Weaving Village

Following a tip about a food festival once held in a unique neighborhood in Bangkok, we set out to explore Baan Krua and unravel the stories of the Champa Kingdom and the ethnic Cham people who live within its alleys. Following the hints about the festival, the story brought us from the local mosque, to neighborhood homes, to a dish we'd never tried before; and in between, uncovering the epic rise and fall of one of the most fascinating places we've ever explored.
