The Thai capital offers a multitude of activities that are not limited to the view of the sumptuous temples of the old city. Rich in history, Bangkok has been a host city for many communities who have left their mark there, in particular the Chinese community who established their quarters there from the founding of the city to give what has become over time the one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. Combining tradition and modernity, the alleys around Yaowarat have inspired contemporary artists who delight street art lovers.
