China Town
Bangkok's China Town is an old business centre
covering a large area around Yaowarat Road and Charoen Krung
Road (New Road). There are many small streets and alleys full
of shops selling all types of goods. The area is always
lively, and market stalls abound. It has been the main centre
for trading by the Chinese since they were moved from their
old site some 200 years ago to make way for the
Grand Palace and
Emerald Buddha complex.
