Wang Lang Market

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.

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 nice market. Many locals with a few tourists visible. Been here twice ie at 9am on Saturday and again, at 1pm on Monday. Can't seem to get enough of wandering around the alleys. Items sold here are normal vegetables, fruits, snack, clothings, bedsheets, toys, shoes, shirts, handbags etc. There are many shops selling noodles and economy rice. Vendors here speak mainly Thai. Be prepared to use translation. It is almost similar to Chatuchak but a smaller scale ie 10% the size. Souvenirs? Hardly find any as it is mainly for the locals. Best part, one will not get lost here. Accessibility? Better use taxi, grab ride as there is no BTS or MRT. If alone, can try out motorcycle taxi or Grab motorcycle. If one is fortunate, and able to get assistance from a local market goer who speaks English or whatever second language, then it is easier.

Wang Lang Market is very convenient and lively, located just next to the hospital, making it easy to reach. The products here are very affordable and the variety is impressive. You can find almost everything, from clothes and accessories to street food and daily necessities. It’s a great place for both shopping and trying local flavors.

A lovely small local market with many street foods and clothes in some narrow alley. A worthy trying experience. You can go to Wang lang by boat, that a fun experience too.

Great market with proper Thai food and a great urban vibe 🇹🇭🍡🍤🫔🍚🫕

A bit crowded on Friday morning. Cheaper way to go is to use public service boat. Lots of food and beverages. Nice and clean.
