Walking through Chinatown is like stepping into a different world. It’s one of the oldest parts of the city, with narrow alleyways, shophouses that have been passed down for generations, and streets packed with food stalls. Yaowarat Road, the main artery of Chinatown, has seen traffic of various sorts since 1891. This is the place to go for legendary street food – think roast duck, dim sum and seafood grilled to perfection.
But it’s not just about food. You’ll find old Chinese temples, gold shops, herbal medicine stores and a lively mix of Thai and Chinese culture. The best time to visit? After sunset, when Yaowarat Road lights up with neon signs and the street food scene kicks into high gear.
