Exploring Chinatown - Bangkok Thailand - Food, Temples & More

Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. It was founded in 1782 when the city was established as the capital of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, and served as the home of the mainly Teochew immigrant Chinese population, who soon became the city's dominant ethnic group.
Originally centred around Sampheng, the core of Chinatown now lies along Yaowarat Road, which serves as its main artery.
Originally a wilderness area outside the city walls, Chinatown grew to become Bangkok's commercial hub throughout the late 19th to early 20th centuries, but has since declined in prominence as commercial activity moved elsewhere following the city's expansion. It now serves as a hub of Chinese culture, with numerous shops selling traditional goods, and is especially known as a food destination.
There is so much to see in this busy area. The historic buildings, temples and outdoor shopping make this a unique place to see. The markets are always bustling with activity and it’s a must see if you are in the city.
