Stepping Back into Bangkok’s Past along Yaowarat Road (PHOTOS)
Street photography Nirvana in Bangkok’s Chinatown.
Hi. Evan Guerra here and Welcome to another entry of Explore Bangkok. Here I record my journey to visit every Buddhist Temple in Bangkok. See map.
Below is photography of a Temple Walk I took through Bangkok’s Chinatown on the 05-FEBRUARY-2016.
Bangkok’s Yaowarat (Chinatown) district is the perfect location for anyone wanting to get a feel of the old Bangkok. Skyscrapers get boring quickly.
Fun Fact: Where the Grand Palace now stands was the original site of Bangok’s Chinese community before being moved to today’s location along Yaowarat Road on Rattanakosin Island.
Enjoy the photo-blog. Any questions please leave in the comments section. I currently live in Bangkok and go on Temple Walks every Sunday. My advice is solid.
