Itinerary

Chinatown is one of Bangkok's busiest, most interesting (and most neon-y) areas, and is known primarily for two things: gold shops and food. Since we're not here to buy gold, the food will have to do.
Passes by
This famous temple is also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, and is a popular stop on many a tourist trail. It has one of the most revered, beautiful and plainly valuable Buddha images in the world. It also has one hell of a back story.
Passes by
The shining golden statue surrounded by lights in the center of the building is the shrine to Kuan Yim. The statue is an image of Bodhisatta Avalo kit esvara – thankfully, more commonly known as Kwan Im, the Goddess of Mercy. The coolest thing about the statue? It dates back to the Tang Dynasty, which ended over 1,100 years ago.

About Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
