What is it? Located along the Chao Phraya River, this bustling daily market is well-known among Bangkokians, students and hospital staff from nearby Siriraj Hospital for its diverse and affordable street food, as well as new and secondhand clothing, accessories and quirky trinkets.
Why go? The market hums with local energy from morning ‘til evening. You’ll find students grabbing lunch, nurses in scrubs and aunties haggling over vintage denim. Navigate narrow alleys filled with food stalls serving everything from crispy fried snacks to spicy boat noodles, then check out racks of new and secondhand clothes, accessories and quirky treasures you won’t spot in any mall.
Time Out tip: Grab freshly baked treats from Wang Lang Bakery, a beloved spot where people queue up for warm breads and sweet pastries.
