About
As one of the largest Chinatowns in the world, this area in Bangkok is renowned for its incredible shopping options and tantalizing cuisine. This fast-paced district was founded over 200 years ago and went on to become the main hub for Bangkok’s large Chinese community. Venture down Yaowarat Road, bustling with activity and brimming with shops offering an array of souvenirs, jewelry, and trinkets. Then, stop at a family-run restaurant to grab an oyster omelet or dim sum. You can ride the metro to reach Chinatown. It's also within walking distance from landmarks like the Wat Traimit Temple. – Tripadvisor

Not to be missed
May 2023 • Business
Energy. Traffic jams. Crowds. Street Food. A great experience. Come for the food at night. Have your food cooked in front of you while you wait. Eat standing up and then move on to the next food stall that takes your fancy.

Bustling Nightlife Walk

Great outdoor location for people who likes crowded place and street food. Greatly recommend going at night time to enjoy the bustling streets filled with people and foods to eat.

Great for dinner and massage!
Apr 2023
What a great experience and the food was delicious! We loved it so much we went here twice while we were in Bangkok. Some of the best thai massages we had were here in Chinatown! Must stop in for dinner one night!

Just don’t waste your time with this fake Chinese Atmosphere
Apr 2023 • Business
I really don’t know why people like to move in a filthy crowded atmosphere between roaring motorbikes and 38 C and still love it. No sidewalks, no hygiene, overpriced fake ‘street food’and 50bht elephant-pants-dressed backpackers walking guileless to a Disneyland alike China atmosphere. Nothing authentic just embarrassing when you know Asia better . Not very Asian at all . Like the typical farang images of China…I saw rats rushing by that were bigger than cats. Yikes. The open sewage system with its gorgeous smells amplifies the idyllic scenery. The only authentic Chinese things were their abominable greed and the cheap China made knock-offs of our Western products. Just pathetic.
Don’t buy gold here! Their prices are 120% above spot price !

Excellent addition to Thai cultural experience
Mar 2023
Chinatown Bangkok is one of the largest and most interesting Chinatowns in Asia and way beyond what you know from San Francisco or elsewhere in the West. It is a totally different world than Thai Bangkok. Not a competitor, but rather an excellent addition. Together, they offer a comprehensive Asian flavor. Definitely a must, best experienced at night.
