When the royal family's Grand Palace was constructed in 1782 by King Rama I to mark the foundation of Bangkok as Thailand's new capital after Ayutthaya was annihilated by the Burmese, the Chinese community was asked to move just outside the city walls.
The city Chinatown district is an old business centre that covers a large area around the main Yaowarat Road and the adjoining Chareon Krung Road or New Road.
It is a showcase of Chinese culture and enterprising spirit. Chinese moved into the area as early as1780's.
