Chinatown will get a new look to enhance its reputation as a street food destination, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration said on Wednesday.
Deputy Bangkok governor, Sakoltee Phattiyakul, said the BMA has already met government agencies to discuss the facelift planned for Chinatown along Yaowarat Road, with the objective of improving the area’s standing as the capital city’s street food hub.
At the meeting, it was agreed that a metal guardrail will be installed on a 400-metre stretch of pavement between the Chalerm Buri and Ratchawong intersections, to help pedestrians.
