YAOWARAT<br />

Photo: TAX<br />

Entering Yaowarat can be like<br />

tumbling down a neon-lit rabbit<br />

hole – the bustling street <strong>of</strong><br />

bright red and gold neon signs is<br />

intoxicating, much like the allure<br />

<strong>of</strong> an exquisite bottle <strong>of</strong> Baijiu.<br />

<strong>Bangkok</strong>’s vibrant Chinatown<br />

is a spirited fusion <strong>of</strong> restaurants,<br />

cafés, bars, street vendors, and<br />

shops that peddle everything<br />

from gold to groceries and<br />

garments. It’s easy to lose<br />

oneself in the labyrinthine<br />

charm <strong>of</strong> Chinatown, especially<br />

if you’re a foodie who can’t<br />

resist traditional Chinese<br />

delights and street fare.<br />

Yaowarat Road is reportedly<br />

home to <strong>Thai</strong>land’s biggest<br />

Chinese community. Its history<br />

goes back to the reign <strong>of</strong> King<br />

Rama I (1782-1809) when<br />

<strong>Thai</strong>land and China began<br />

trading via the Chao Phraya<br />

River’s Ratchawong Pier.<br />
