Settled in the 1780's by Chinese merchants, Chinatown retains a large ethnic
Chinese community who still continue their own traditions and religious
ceremonies. Famous for its markets and numerous gold shops, the area caters
largely to the local population and contains a number of busy, almost frenetic
market areas concentrated around a network of roads, alleys and small streets.
Local favourites include Nakom Kasem market and Sampeng Lane, a long, narrow
pedestrian lane crammed with masses of goods from hair slides (sold by the
dozen) to kitchen utensils. The area around Yaowarat road, Chinatown's main
street, is fascinating for its Chinese pharmacies and unbelievable concentration
of gold shops. Bordering Chinatown is Paruhat Cloth Market with a huge selection
of batiks, sarongs and general fabric. A largely ethnic Indian area, Paruhat
has some excellent local Indian restaurants and a large shopping mall selling
handicrafts.
