Chinatown Bangkok is home to landmarks and attractions that are sure to excite tourists. An especially impressive spectacle is the Chinatown Gate, located at the western entrance of the district. The grand arch is fit for a king; it was built in 1999 to celebrate King Bhumibol's 60th year on the throne. It stands as a symbol of the loyalty of the local Chinese Community to the King, making it an important monument found within the bustling area. Visitors can take pictures with this beautiful gateway as a background, capturing memories on their camera or in their minds. As you look up, you will be welcomed by ornate decorations and graceful carvings, creating an other-worldly atmosphere. Chinatown Gate is a must-visit spot if you want to truly experience the richness of Thailand’s culture. The best viewpoint of the gate is at the top of the Odeon Tower parking, but because too many photographers and tourists went to this private parking spot, you might need to pay the security guard (200 THB) to access it.
