Chinatown
A thriving marketplace for over 200 years,
the heart of Chinatown pulses around the intersection
of Yaowaraj and Rajawong Roads.

whose ailments are not as serious as deer antler
or ginseng deficiency (!!), there are sidewalk medicine-men
giving spirited pitches over a snake oil cocktail
cart that easily draws the biggest crowds.
