What this place is
Dragon Town is a complex with a Chinese aesthetic. Red and black tones, lattice details, painted walls, narrow lanes between buildings. It's well known among local photographers and models, but it stays pretty quiet most of the time.
We come here for model comp cards, product shoots, street photography, and boudoir at House of Papa Hotel, which is located inside the complex. The complex also has Chinese costume rentals on site, which we use mainly around Chinese New Year.
Sessions that work at Dragon Town
Model comp cards
Clean walls and varied textures in a small footprint, efficient for portfolio work.
Product photography
Painted backdrops and narrow alleys give a distinctive look without travelling across the city.
Street photography
Quieter than Yaowarat or Talat Noi but with similar Chinese visual language.
Boudoir at House of Papa
A small hotel located inside the complex with rooms we like for indoor sessions.
Chinese costume rental
The complex has a Chinese costume rental on site. Most people use it around Chinese New Year, but it's available year-round.
If you want to combine traditional dress with the location's aesthetic, this is the easiest place in Bangkok to do it without bringing your own outfit.
Tell us in advance if you want to include the costume. We'll plan timing and outfit changes accordingly so the rental fits inside the session.
For boudoir, House of Papa is a separate booking. Let us know early so we can coordinate the room with your photoshoot time.
