YAOWARAT<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 />
