Chinatown in Bangkok

There is a saying that you can find people of Chinese descent where ever the sun shines. Chinese people are known to be able to adapt into a new environment and creating a thriving self sustaining community or even assimilating the surrounding neighbourhood. There is a Chinatown in all major cities in US and even Europe. Not surprising to find one in Bangkok.

The Chinatown Enclave in Bangkok is mainly a Teochew Commmunity. The older generations can still speak Teochew but not the younger generations who are mostly Thai speaking.

They have their places of worship

They have a thriving economy

They have a bustling market

And they follow tradition :D
