	Yaowarat Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bangkok's Chinatown is located on Yaowarat Road in Samphanthawong district.
		By the end of 1891, King Rama V had cut many roads, Yaowarat Road is one of them.
		Therefore Chinatown doesn't consist of only Yaowarat Road, but also covers others such as: Charoen Krung Road, Songwat Road, Songsawat Road, Chakkrawat Road etc. Yaowarat is the centre of the area.

	Charoen Krung Road
		Along both sides of the road, shophouses are lined up, forming a string of business communities extending from Yaowarat Road, which is parallel to Charoen Krung.
		Newly finished and not yet named, the road was commonly called "New Road" before King Mongkut (Rama IV) bestowed on it the name of "Charoen Krung", which means the prosperity of the city.
		After its completion, the southern section of the road was too large to be put into full use because at that time, there was just a small number of inhabitants in that part of Bangkok.

	Chinatown - Districts -
		Though the main roads are not very dissimilar to those of other parts of Bangkok, the genuine Chinatown lies down the busy numerous smaller roads, narrow alleys and backstreets.
		A couple of Chinatown's most interesting roads are Yaowarat road (sometimes spelt Yaowaraj), leading westwards from near Wat Traimit, and Sampeng Lane (also known as Soi Wanit), running parallel south of Yaowarat.
		Busy Yaowarat road is Chinatown's main street, and has surely one of greatest concentrations of gold shops anywhere, reflecting the love of gold the Thai-Chinese are often thought to have.

		Otherwise, it is time to consider Yaowarat, Bangkok’s unique Chinatown named after the main street, noisy, crowded and smog infested Yaowarat Road.
