 This
long-running street market is only a 15-minute drive east of Khaosan
Road, and it’s also close to the Hua
Lamphong Train Station. While the area is not heavily frequented
by tourists, it gives you an authentic feeling for Thai life and
offers a few glimpses into old Bangkok.
The market is a favourite for Thai merchants who make it a point
to get there early. Clothing and
other necessities of life are sold wholesale by the dozen or more.
It’s great for picking up no-frills clothes and fabrics in
bulk, but not if you are looking to buy just one item, in a specific
size and colour. Part of the market is located in an air-conditioned
high-rise, offering a pleasant reprieve from the heat. Many of the
fruit and vegetable vendors set up shop early in the morning, though
many of the other stalls are open until late at night.
