Welcome to Chinatown, Bangkok

Getting to Chinatown

By MRT (Underground Train): The easiest way to get to Chinatown is by taking the MRT and alighting at Wat Mangkon Station, which is conveniently located right in the heart of Chinatown.

By Chao Phraya River Boat: You can also take a boat along the Chao Phraya River to Ratchawong Pier, and take a short walk into the bustling streets of Chinatown from there.

By Bus: Several public buses run to Chinatown, including bus numbers 1, 7, 8, and 37. The main bus stop is on Yaowarat Road.

By Tuk-Tuk or Taxi: If you prefer a more direct route, tuk-tuks and taxis are readily available throughout Bangkok. Make sure the driver uses the meter or negotiate the fare before starting your ride to avoid overcharging.

Tip: Traffic in Bangkok can be congested, especially during peak hours, so allocate extra time if you're traveling by road.
