Chinatown Gate, Bangkok

Chinatown Gate (29 August 2006)


Chinatown Gate is a Chinese style gate at Odean Circle on the east end of Yaowarat Road, the main road through Samphathawong, the Chinatown district of Bangkok. The gate is often called Odean Gate after the Odean cinema which used to stand nearby. It was built as part of the celebrations of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 72's birthday. The words on the gate says "Sheng Shou Wu Jiang", which translate as "Long Live the King".

Getting there

Chinatown Gate is located about 500 meters from the Hualamphong Railway Station. Take the Bangkok MRT to the Hua Lamphong Railway Station (HUA). Coming out of the station, cross Thanon Rama IV (Rama IV Road) and enter Mittaphep Thai-China Road. Follow the road to the end, and you will see the Chinatown Gate across from Yaowarat Road at the end of Mittaphep Thai-China Road.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
