What To Expect

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

Now, step inside. The 15-foot tall statue takes your breath away. Is the gold shining in your eyes? 83% of the statue is actually solid gold. That means it's worth millions of dollars in today’s terms. Can you imagine its worth when it was first created in the 13th century? Unfathomable!

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

Built to mimic the typically Oriental gates found in China, this ceremonial gate is an integral part of Chinese history in Thailand. It also marks the entrance to one of the world’s biggest Chinatowns.

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat

Built-in 1872 at the core of Chinatown, it is a beautiful amalgamation of both Chinese and Buddhist culture and philosophies.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Sampeng Market

The market is almost set up like a maze, one that lacks any rhyme or reason. The cramped lane and its tiny offshoots are filled with stalls selling everything from shoes, fabrics, watches, and copies of DVDs to children’s toys, food products, electronics, and even gold! With so much to explore and the sheer volume of people and clutter, this experience can become a little intimidating. Add in the scooters, bikes, and motorcycles trying to maneuver their way through the market as you attempt to shop, and the whole experience can be overwhelming.
