I visited Chinatown last November in the evening, and the crowds were reasonable, I’ve been again visited Chinatown in March in the evening and I was so crowded you could barely walk, I will be there in another two weeks lol yes, I will visit Chinatown again.
I have visited Chinatowns in Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok because my country Fiji is only one-percent Chinese and therefore there is no Chinatown in my country.
Great video my friend. I would argue, the best place to visit in the day time, now it's the hot and humid Thai summer, is someplace with air condition, haha... Stay cool brother! 🙂
I have visited Sukumvit Bangkok twice in 2017 & 2018. In 2023, I visited Wat Mangkhon Chinatown in Bangkok and is now my favorite place in Thailand. Purpose is to visit Chinatown in Bangkok because I have visited Chinatowns in Malaysia & Singapore.
Thailand's Chinese community was created more than 240 years ago when King Rama I built the Grand Palace and relocated the capital from Thonburi to the other side of Chao Phraya River opposite Wat Arun on the land formerly occupied by Chinese immigrants. They were then relocated to the outskirt of the Old City along Chao Phraya River at Charoenkrung Rd and Yaowarat Rd (not yet built). Siam then was known as Venice of the East as canals and Chao Phraya River were the main transport routes. The first road was constructed in the reign of King Rama IV named Charoen Krung Road, running along Chao Phraya river (River of King). Later Yaowarat Road was constructed to link up with Charoen Krung in the reign of King Rama V. Both roads were the first commercial hub of Siam with the first modern buildings built along the two roads, thus began the China Town legend. Originally Charoenkrung Rd and Yaowarat Rd were two-way traffic but they became one-way traffic about 60 years ago. China Town was the center of rice trade in those days as there was/is nearby Chao Phraya River pier bringing rice from provinces into Bangkok. It is no longer the center of rice trade as road/rail transport is highly developed over the years. For at least 60 years, China Town is the center of gold trading. There are about a dozen gold shops on Yaowarat Rd selling bullions and gold ornaments. Daily gold price quote is prescribed by Gold Trade Association in China Town. There are two famous temples in China Town. Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit), right behind the main Chinatown gate at the start of Yaorawat Road, boasts the largest solid gold Buddha in the world. Entrance fee is ฿40. Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Wat Leng Noei Yi) is the largest and most important Chinese Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It is an emblem of Chinese architecture and the religious heart of the Chinese community living in China Town and other areas of Bangkok. Entrance is free. For the last decade, Thailand China Town, the largest China Town in the world, is the place to go at night for delicious food/drink. It is arguably the largest open night market in the world. It is estimated that about 10-20% Thai people are of Chinese descents.
