Itinerary

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

30 min Admission included

Wat Traimit is a second-class royal temple of the Worawihan class and originally was called Wat Sam Chin because there is a story that there were three Chinese people who worked together to build this temple. The interior has some interesting items like the Phra Maha Mondop, which is where Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon or Luangpho Thong Kham is enshrined. It has been regarded as a priceless Buddha image since the past. The Buddha image with the appearance of gold contains a large amount of pure gold.
Talat Noina

Talad Noi is an ethnic Chinese community on the edge of Bangkok’s Chinatown, and on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. It is well known for a strong community feel, old buildings, and alleyways bursting with street art and second-hand car parts. Recently many cool hidden cafes have opened and it has become very popular with the young and Instagram obsessed locals.

The heart of the market is Soi Wanit 1, a narrow alley with more alleys and streets spread around it selling just about everything you can think of.

Chinatown - Bangkok

This place is the largest Chinese community in Thailand. The Chinese began to trade with the Thai people since the reign of King Rama I the Great, which the commercial centre was around Ratchawong Pier. Later, in the reign of King Rama V the Great, roads were built to promote trade, and the King graciously bestowed the name Yaowarat Road.
