Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on Thanon Uthong in the heart of Ayutthaya Municipality, this weekend market is primarily a street food destination, drawing locals and visitors alike with its wide spread of affordable Thai dishes and a notably strong selection of halal stalls. Reviewers consistently highlight the food as the main draw, with prices that compare favorably to larger markets in Bangkok, making it a practical stop for travelers watching their budget.
The atmosphere is lively and genuine, with vendors serving up a range of Thai street food in an everyday local setting rather than a tourist-polished environment. Several stalls offer seating, though space can be limited, so many visitors eat standing or on the move. The market also sits conveniently close to Ayutthaya's riverside, and some visitors arrive directly from sunset boat rides along the Chao Phraya, adding a relaxed, unhurried quality to the experience.

Reviews from Google
We were given the opportunity to dine here after a nice and relaxing sunset boat ride. There are plenty of affordable and great halal food sold here. Some stalls have seating areas, but most don't, so it's good to walk around the market to get whatever you'd like to supplement your meal before settling down on a sit in stall, ordering food from there as well of course.
The bow on the surface is especially delicious. I recommend everyone to look at it.
It’s very good market for cheap price food at here and many halal stall available here
