Travelfish on Chinatown and Pahurat

Created in 1782 when a large Chinese population was moved here from Ko Rattanakosin to make way for the seat of government, Bangkok's Chinatown is today colourfully chaotic and clogged with pedestrians, shoppers and vendors exchanging gold or selling textiles, car parts, coffins, electronics, nuts and bolts, shark fins, traditional medicine, tea and a huge variety of food. It's a serious whirl of activity and those averse to large crowds and congested alleys may want to give Chinatown a miss completely as the area can quickly become exhausting to navigate, with few spots to rest in the heat.

Chinatown has become more accessible to tourists with the opening of the subway. Alight at Hualamphong station. Avoid traipsing around in the middle of the day, when the crowds are thickest, the traffic dreadful and the heat frankly unbearable. Before 9am is the best time for seeing Chinatown's wet markets, which are worth a look in for the wriggly-things enthusiast, while retail shops open a little later. ... read more about Chinatown and Pahurat on Travelfish
