Turtle car in Talat Noi Neighbourhood in Bangkok

A Turtle Car Fitting of Bangkok’s Quirky Talat Noi Neighbourhood

Spent an afternoon in the winding alleys of Talat Noi, Bangkok’s coolest old neighborhood, and had to drop by the abandoned Turtle Car.

This rusted relic was once a shiny Fiat 500 and is now an unlikely icon blending perfectly with the district’s vibrant street art, eclectic warehouses and maze of stories.

Surrounded by old shophouses, cafes, and the constant clatter of nearby auto parts shops, this quirky Turtle Car feels like a piece of urban art—slowly being reclaimed by time and the area’s creative spirit.

Stumbling upon the Turtle Car is a reminder that Bangkok’s magic often hides in the most unexpected corners. 😉♥️
