Yaowarat Road (Bangkok Chinatown)

The main street of Bangkok's Chinatown, anchored at the Chinese-style Chinatown Gate at Odeon Circle. By day a market and gold-shop district; from sunset onwards one of the densest street-food scenes in Asia. The MRT Wat Mangkon station drops you in the middle of it. The Yaowarat strip earns its reputation after dark; mid-morning is the easier visit if you want to see the temples and shops without the night crowds.
