Bangkok Chinatown

Map of Chinatown
On Yaowarat Street
Bangkok has one of the largest Chinatown outside of China. The Chinese community had settled along the Chao Phraya River before the founding of the city as it was a place that traded with the East when Ayutthaya was still the capital of Siam.
Its main artery is Yaowarat Road that meanders through Chinatown like a dragon, linking the Europen section marked by Hua Lamphong Station and Charoen Krung Road to the Royal City of Rattanakosin.
