What to do in Chinatown

Chinatown Bangkok is both a popular tourist attraction and a haven for authentic Chinese cuisine. Local gourmands often flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side restaurants and vendors. During the day, it’s no less busy as crowds descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to shop for staples, trade gold, or visit one of many Buddhist temples in the area.

The energy coming from its endless rows of market stalls and wooden shop-houses is plain contagious – it will keep you wanting to come back for more. Plan your visit during major festivals, like Chinese New Year, to see Bangkok’s Chinatown at its best.
