Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center

Unclaimed

?Nice temple? ?Golden Buddha inside!? ?Entrance fee is 50 baht.? ?Very easy to find (near Chinatown) easy to get tickets and few stairs to climb than you are in. It is very impressive and larger than you might imagine. ❤ Worth a visit ❤

Great museum about the history of Yaowarat (modern China town). Very much worth the time and entrance fees if you are interested in history of Bangkok. The exhibition is very well done with a lot of attention to detail and lots of information.

a worthwhile historical site, the view is beautiful, although the weather is very hot this season, so wear a hat and prepare sunscreen. The scene is open, a bit crowded, but the staff is very quick to support and the entrance fee is not expensive

A small but powerfully engaging museum, Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center is located on the second floor of Wat Traimit or Temple of the Golden Buddha. Your journey starts off with presentation that has you peering into a living room where a Thai-Chinese grandfather begins to tell his grandchild about Chinatown’s origins. His reminiscence sets an intimate tone that piques your curiosity. From there, you are well on your way to discover more.
