How Chinese is Chinatown?

» As usual, the week of Chinese New Year will blanket Bangkok's Yaowarat district, aka Chinatown, in a festive atmosphere. Thais of Chinese descent will visit sacred temples and shrines, making merit and praying for good luck. Tourists will soak in the colourful pageants, watch lion dance shows and enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.
