ถนนเยาวราช
Yaowarat Road runs through Bangkok’s Chinatown in Samphanthawong District, forming a lively commercial street about one and a half kilometres long. Shops selling gold, textiles and electronics stand beside food stalls, restaurants, temples and historic landmarks.
Chinese communities have shaped this area for more than two centuries, after relocating to make way for the Grand Palace. Built between 1892 and 1900, the road follows a distinctive dragon-like curve, considered auspicious for business, while Thai-Chinese heritage remains visible throughout the surrounding streets.
After dark, food stalls and restaurants turn the road into a bustling food street with dishes for local diners and visitors. During Chinese New Year, the route becomes a pedestrian street for large celebrations.
