The legacy <strong>of</strong> trade continued a<br />

century later under King Rama V,<br />

who boosted commerce by<br />

constructing roads – one <strong>of</strong> which<br />

was named Yaowarat.<br />

The present-day Yaowarat<br />

Road hosts a variety <strong>of</strong> shops and<br />

food stalls on either side, drawing<br />

frequent visits from locals and<br />

globetrotters. Whether you’re<br />

seeking food, drinks, clothes, fresh<br />

produce or Chinese imports, you<br />

will find them here.<br />

Yaowarat takes centre stage<br />

during festivities, especially Chinese<br />

New Year and the Vegetarian<br />

Festival. The area is also home to<br />

grand temples serving different<br />

communities, including the Chinese<br />

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Wat Leng<br />

Noei Yi), Wat Traimit Withayaram<br />
