Thian Fah Foundation is located on Yaowarat Road, a little past Odeon Circle, opposite Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan Temple. This is a place of worship and prayer that is highly respected by Thai-Chinese and Chinese people because it is the place where the Goddess of Mercy is enshrined. The Goddess of Mercy is made of fragrant sandalwood carved in the style of Tang Dynasty art, but it is believed that it was built during the Song Dynasty, about 800-900 years ago.

  • The Chinatown Gate - Originally, this area used to be a fountain roundabout or “Odeon Circle”, which was named after the nearby Odeon Cinema. Later, the area was renovated and a Thai-Chinese cultural archway was built. Chinese-Thai people and various government agencies jointly built it to offer merit on the occasion of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 60th birthday anniversary in 1999. This archway is the intersection of Charoen Krung Road, Yaowarat Road, and Thai-Chinese Friendship Road. It is a symbol of Yaowarat and is considered the gateway to Yaowarat.

  • Wat Traimit Withayaram Worawihan - Wat Traimit in Bangkok houses the world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue, gleaming with timeless beauty. Set in a magnificent temple, the statue’s serene, golden visage reflects spiritual tranquility. This iconic landmark offers visitors a glimpse into Thailand’s rich cultural heritage and religious devotion.

Great experience - We booked this with our teen son and we all loved it! Great way to experience local food. We booked the group tour vs the private tour, but to our surprise we were the only ones. Our guide was very knowledgeable and also gave us a history lesson which we appreciated.

Great food, history and timing - The food was really good, we got to try a variety of different dishes at different locations that I wouldn't have otherwise gone in try. Our guide was lovely, very knowledgeable about the city and history. A short tour is great for the hot weather as well.

Perfect food tour of Chinatown - This was a great food tour and it took the perfect amount of time, any more stops or food and it would have become unmanageable. Some of the dishes were some of the best I ever tasted (dumplings especially). My son is a vegetarian so I didn’t include him in the booking but the guide helped us find alternatives for him along the way.

Everything a foodie wants in Bangkok's Chinatown - I was the only member of the tour (low season) and had a fantastic time! All of the food was delicious and the detail provided by my guide (Sophia) of both the food and the area was exceptional. It's hard to pick specific highlights as the entire evening was wonderful but, due to my insistence, it was really nice to be trusted with some proper 'Thai' spicy food instead of the milder 'farang' alternatives! For all the right reasons I will never forget the local and legitimate Larb, Som Tam, and roasted green Thai chilies served with sticky rice and eaten by hand... and maybe some whiskey to help wash it all down. A true delight of an evening which I will immediately book again the next time I'm lucky enough to travel to Bangkok.
