Tang Toh Kang Gold Shop, Bangkok

Chinatown is one of Bangkok's oldest districts and about 14% of the buildings have been designated as historical landmarks.

Chinatown is one of Bangkok's oldest districts and about 14% of the buildings have been designated as historical landmarks. Tang To Kang is one of them, an interesting colonial style building and actually the oldest gold shop of Bangkok (which is hard to believe now with so many gold shops scattered over the district). If you want to see their gold museum, you have to make an appointment two days ahead.
