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.
