Wang Lang Market

This is a large local market located right across from Sanam Luang. The atmosphere is friendly and lively, with a huge variety of food stalls and restaurants. You can find many famous and delicious spots here, along with plenty of newly opened places. The area has been recently renovated and now looks much better than before, while still keeping its authentic Thai vibe. If you want to try different kinds of Thai food, I highly recommend this place. You can walk around, explore, and grab something to eat anytime. Just a short walk away, you’ll get a beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River with boats passing by, which adds to the charm of the area. There aren’t many air-conditioned restaurants here, so it can be a bit hot, but that’s part of the real local experience. Overall, it’s a great place to visit for food, sightseeing, and enjoying the true Thai atmosphere.

A local known market mainly known by the Thai folks by the riverside. From here you can easily take a ferry to the famous Grand Palace, Wat Arun or Icon Siam as well. Only open in the morning till early afternoon with a wide variety of clothes trinkets knickers knacks etc. Worth a visit if you are looking for authentic Thai food and stuff are not expensive either.

A very interesting market for a foreign tourist. Narrow, crowded streets. Lots of stalls selling all kinds of food, each more appetizing, more interesting. Tailors doing their job on the street. Stalls with clothes, household items, tiny cafes, street vendors. A small altar, with freshly left offerings. A different, spectacular world.
