Bangkok Chinatown Eats: A Self-guided Audio Tour

This tour will take us up one side of Yaowarat Road and back down the other, sampling a wide variety of food, depending on how hungry (or adventurous) you are. You’ll be guided along by expert commentary that provides depth, context, and humor to your walk, pointing out top spots to graze, as well as providing historical context and trivia about the places you’ll see. The VoiceMap mobile app plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone’s GPS – even offline. If you have a few hours and want to see Chinatown up close and personal, this is the tour you need!

Chinatown is one of Bangkok’s busiest, most interesting (and most neon-y) areas, and is known primarily for two things: gold shops and food. Since we’re not here to buy gold, the food will have to do.

This famous temple is also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, and is a popular stop on many a tourist trail. It has one of the most revered, beautiful and plainly valuable Buddha images in the world. It also has one hell of a back story.

The shining golden statue surrounded by lights in the center of the building is the shrine to Kuan Yim. The statue is an image of Bodhisatta Avalo kit esvara – thankfully, more commonly known as Kwan Im, the Goddess of Mercy. The coolest thing about the statue? It dates back to the Tang Dynasty, which ended over 1,100 years ago.
