District guide · Bangkok
Samphanthawong, Bangkok's Chinatown, is the smallest district by area in Thailand, bounded by Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bang Rak, Khlong San, and Phra Nakhon. Yaowarat Road, Wat Tri Mit Witayaram, and Sampheng Market anchor the district's commercial and religious character. The area contains numerous temples alongside historical sites and markets that reflect its Chinese heritage.

ถนนเยาวราช
Yaowarat Road is the mile and a half of Chinatown that records the commercial history of Bangkok, as against the royal history a few streets north.
วัดไตรมิตรวิทยารามวรวิหาร
Wat Traimit stands at the western gate of Yaowarat, where Chinatown meets the road in from Hua Lamphong, and it exists in the guidebooks for one object: a Sukhothai-style Buddha image of solid gold.
ตลาดสำเพ็ง
Sampeng Market is a historic wholesale and retail market in Bangkok’s Chinatown, running through a narrow lane parallel to Yaowarat Road.
ตลาดน้อย
Talat Noi is a working riverside quarter on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya, immediately south of Bangkok's Chinatown, and it is a place rather than a venue: no gate, no ticket desk, no operator.
