Address : Yaowarat Road, China Town, Bangkok

Bangkok : Bangkok hotels' in a city that's as mysteriously ancient as it is vividly modern are part of the total experience in Thailand's thriving and lively capital city. The new underground rail system and Skytrain now link most of the main tourist and business areas, allowing easy access to virtually anywhere in the city - just steps from your hotel. The old city area (Rattanakosin) and the riverside are becoming popular areas near Bangkok's temples. But if you're a shopaholic, head for Sukhumvit, Ploenchit and Chidlom.

China Town : 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.
