About2018.10: Heritage Zone Chinatown 4 kms South West of Siam Centre
A large riverside Chinese community in Bangkok’s Samphanthawong district, Talad Noi (literally meaning “small market”) is rich with cultural heritage from the early Rattanakosin period. Its shophouses, shrines, mansions and living culture reflect historical, architectural, economic, social and spiritual values of the neighbourhood.

BackgroundThe pace of development in Bangkok can often be overwhelming. Leave the city behind for a few months and by the time you’re back the chances are there will be a new mall, high-rise condo or parking lot in place of whatever was there before. Head over to the charming Talad Noi, however, and you’ll find a refreshing exception where centuries-old shop houses stand side-by-side historic temples, old monuments and handsome colonial mansions. Talad Noi can be found just a few minutes’ walk south from the famous tourist hotspot of Chinatown (Yaowarat), and is well connected by both the MRT at Hua Lamphong and the Chao Phraya ferry which stops conveniently at the nearby Si Phraya Pier next to the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers. The area is bordered by the Chao Phraya to the west and the famous Charoen Krung Road to the east, but it’s really by the water’s edge where the best panoramic views come into picture. Unlike the nearby Yaowarat or Charoen Krung Roads, Talad Noi’s narrow lanes aren’t clogged with traffic, meaning it’s actually fun to get around by foot or bicycle. If you start your day at Hua Lamphong, Wat Traimit—which contains a 5.5-ton solid gold Buddha—and Chinatown are the two big-name attractions nearby. Both are well worth a visit, but delve deeper into the maze of cute streets that make up Talad Noi and you’ll be rewarded with some slightly less touristy attractions. Wikipedia And is the birthplace of Dr. Puey Ungphakorn, former Governor of the Bank of Thailand, he was the leading thinker in Thai society in the 1970s. In addition, local elder also recalled Talat Noi is also the origin of the Kuaitiao khua kai (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวคั่วไก่), the popular stir-fried noodles dish. It adapted from dried chicken congee in before World World II period.
