Lorong Bangkok

Bangkok Lane, or Lorong Bangkok, is a minor road in the Pulau Tikus district of George Town. It is immediately behind Wat Chaiyamangkalaram, the famous reclining Buddha temple, which is on Burmah Lane.

Bangkok Lane connects Burmah Road to Kelawei Road. As with many of the roads in Pulau Tikus, the name of Bangkok Lane is reflective of the Thai and Burmese communities that used to settle in that area.

On both sides of Bangkok Lane are handsome pre-war residential houses built in 1928 by Cheah Leong Kah. The architect who designed them was Chew Eng Eam, who also designed the Loke Thye Kee.

Bangkok Lane is perhaps most popular for its Indian Mee Goreng and Mee Rebus, available at Seng Lee Cafe, at the junction of Bangkok Lane with Burmah Road.
