Tour endless street stalls, dragon parades, and sacred shrine merit-making in glorious 4K HDR. Located along the main stretch of Chinatown Bangkok (Yaowarat)—starting right at Chinatown Gate (Odeon Circle) and accessible via MRT Wat Mangkon Station (Exit 1)—the annual 9-day Kin Jay festival is one of Thailand's most famous cultural and culinary events.
