Chinatown, Bangkok
Chinatown,
Bangkok
Chinatown in Bangkok is one of the only districts in Bangkok which has escaped modern development and the rise of the skyscrapers. The area is mainly inhabited by Chinese which have been living there for generations and so consider themselves as Thais rather than Chinese.
Chinatown is not one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and very little English is spoken in the area. However, there are a number of things you must see while in Chinatown, such as Wat Traimit, home to the largest golden Buddha in the world, and Wat Mangko Kamalawt and Li Thi Miew Temple.
The most famous street in Chinatown is Yaowarat Road which is lined with gold shops and street markets selling Thai souvenirs. The most famous gold shop in the area, Tant To Gung is in Chinatown, so don't leave the area without having a look.
