Samphanthawong

At Samphanthawong's heart is Chinatown, with restaurants and night-time food stalls on Yaowarat Road, plus produce markets and traditional workshops tucked away in side streets. Ornate temple Wat Traimitr Witayaram Worawihan has a Buddha statue said to be made of solid gold, while Wat Mangkon Kamalawat is known for its New Year festivities. Row houses with hip cocktail bars and speakeasies line Charoen Krung Road.
