Yaowarat Road

Yaowarat Road has been a trade hub for hundreds of years, but it's perhaps best known as an essential street food destination. The street is positively overflowing with shops and food stalls featuring anything you can think of, and plenty of things you would never have guessed!
10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
4

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat

This picture-perfect temple is a stunning example of Chinese Buddhist architecture. It makes for a fascinating departure from the Thai style of Wat Traimit and demonstrates the important influence Chinese immigrants have had on this part of Thailand.

Sampeng Market

At last, you'll arrive at the bustling Sampeng Lane. This buzzing hub can be quite chaotic, but don't let all the hubbub steer you away from some of the best food in the city!
