Apresento as imagens que fui captando
na minha primeira saída do Hotel
na CHINA TOWN de BANGKOK
YAOWARAT ROAD
a rua onde ficava o hotel, percorria-a no sentido norte
e ia explorando
tudo o que ia encontrando pelo caminho
Yaowarat Road (Thai: ถนนเยาวราช) in Samphanthawong district
which is centered on Sam Pheng Lane (ซอยสำเพ็ง numbered as Soi Wanit 1.)
Chinatown's Sam Peng Market (ตลาดสำเพ็ง) is an old business
center noted for a post-WW II visit by the young king Ananda Mahidol.
Modern Chinatown now covers a large area around Yaowarat
and Charoen Krung Road. There are many small streets
and alleys full of shops and vendors selling all types of goods.
It has been the main centre for trading by the
Chinese community since they moved from their old site
Yaowarat Road is also famous for many varieties
of delicious foods, and it becomes "foods street" at night.

Chinatown is located in one of the oldest areas of Bangkok.
Yaowarat and Phahurat (Thai: เยาวราชและพาหุรัด) is Bangkok's multicultural district, located west of Silom and southeast of Rattanakosin.
Yaowarat Road is the home of Bangkok's sizable Chinese community, while those of Indian ethnicity have congregated around Phahurat Road.
...
By day, Yaowarat doesn't look that much different from any other part of Bangkok, though the neighbourhood feels like a big street market and there are some hidden gems waiting to be explored.
But at night, the neon signs blazing with Chinese characters are turned on and crowds from the restaurants spill out onto the streets, turning the area into a miniature Hong Kong (minus the skyscrapers).
Yaowarat is centred,
as could be expected,
around Yaowarat Road,
a big road bursting with neon signs.
