Thailand: Traffic and signs on Yaowarat Road, Chinatown, Bangkok

Thailand: Traffic and signs on Yaowarat Road, Chinatown, Bangkok (2008). Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. It was founded in 1782 when the city was established as the capital of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, and served as the home of the mainly Teochew immigrant Chinese population, who soon became the city's dominant ethnic group.
