The experience
Yaowarat Road is the 1.5-kilometre spine of Bangkok's Chinatown, laid out after King Rama V ordered its construction in 1891 through what had been rice fields. By day it is a corridor of gold shops, herbalists and old shophouses; after dark it becomes one of the city's busiest street-food strips beneath dense neon signage. The side lanes hide Chinese shrines, dried-goods traders and century-old family businesses.
The dense, walkable heart of Chinatown, where gold, incense and old shophouse life line one long street.
