Road Index
As there are more than a hundred main roads in Bangkok, the road index will help you find the location of a specific area easier by identifying the position where a specific road is situated.

The index mainly comprises the roads in Bangkok's tourist areas. The names of the roads are also given in Thai in an attempt to help you communicate with the Thais or taxi drivers who can't speak English, simply by showing them the Thai name of the road when you need help.

The Rattanakosin Island area is the formerly walled town surrounded by waterways -- the Chao Phraya River and the Old Moat -- and so known as the Old Town.

This section covers the areas of 'Inner Rattanakosin' and 'Middle Rattanakosin' in the map, marked with blue and pink colours respectively (see the symbols indicating the colours of the different areas in the box on the lower part of the map). Situated here are the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and a few other famous Buddhist temples, the Giant Swing and sections of the ancient city walls.

The Chinatown area is located just to the southeast of the Old Town in the 'Outer Rattanakosin' area in the map, marked with green colour. Major roads are Yaowarat, Chareon Krung, Song Wat and Sampheng. It is an early settlement of Chinese immigrants who were moved here from the Old Town at the time of establishment of Bangkok as the new capital. It is still a thriving commercial area particularly well known for its dozens of gold shops.
