MARKETS OF BANGKOK  -  Phahurat Indian Market  
ลิตเติ้ล อินเดีย บางกอก  
 Address:        
 Known as:   Little India Bangkok    
 Description:   Phahurat Market is located in the Little India area of Bangkok in the Phra Nakhon district of the city, which has a large Sikh community. Just a stone’s throw from Chinatown, visiting the market and its surrounding areas means a discovery of smells, sights, sounds, and tastes—a true feast for the senses.
The market is so named due to the main road that connects it, where stall and shop owners sell all manner of Indian-style clothing, jewelry, and food amid a labyrinth of narrow alleyways. These crowded lanes are mainly filled with swaths of fabrics, as well as ready-to-wear items of clothing. The area also extends along Chakrawat Road and further along Sampeng Lane, where neighboring restaurants offer a range of Indian cuisine to choose from.
The Phahurat Market is a popular and often crowded place, where visitors can wander around and soak up the atmosphere, stopping to haggle for some fine silks or to nibble on a delicious Indian snack from a street cart. This area is also home to the second-largest Sikh temple outside of India, with its huge golden dome dominating the skyline.
 
The Phahurat Market is situated behind Phahurat Road and is open daily from early in the morning until mid-afternoon. The easiest way to reach the market by public transport is to catch the Skytrain to Saphan Taksin station and then the take Chao Phraya Express Boat to Rajawongse Pier.
