Behind such chaos, Charoen Chai community remains, keeping the spirit of Bangkok Chinatown. For decades, the short alley was a major market for Chinese joss papers, which are used in cultural rites. It is even busier this week as people shop for joss papers for Chinese New Year. The small lane is vivid with colourful joss papers in different designs. From a joss paper manufacturer, Charoen Chai is transforming into an outlet.
