Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand

Description

Bangkok has a unique and vibrant Chinatown. The Chinatown area runs along Yaowarat Road from Odeon Circle, where a huge ceremonial Chinese gate unmistakably marks the entrance, up to the Ong Ang Canal, which marks the outer boundaries of the royal district. Yaowarat Road itself is blessed with many gold shops, and this area is indeed one of the better places to shop for gold. However, just off the road in either direction is a whole other world where, it is said, you can find just about anything.
