"Also known as Walking Street, this vibrant weekly market runs from the famous Tha Phae Gate down Ratchadamnoen Road to the Wat Phra Singh temple and showcases handmade local crafts and street performance. Stalls sell everything from sarongs, shoes and silk goods to paper and wood handicrafts, and there are even mobile foot-massage vendors offering 30-minute sessions for about THB70. Street food ranges from classic pad thai to modern snacks like waffles and French fries. The market operates every Sunday from about 4pm until midnight." - Samantha David
