Description: |

Nakhon Nuang Khet Ancient Market is the market that lies along
Nakhon Nuang Khet Canal. It has been run since the reign of King
Rama V. The stalls are made of old woods and the pedestrians and
the bridges connect the area along the river together.
Presently, Nuang Khet municipality renovated the market and the
community nearby. So, there are a variety of food stalls selling
traditional Thai food either on ground and boat such as Thai
curry, Noodles, Old style coffee, and fresh food.
Nakhon Nuang Khet Ancient Market was named after
the canal that came across the market. Previously, the local
named this market by the name of ‘Si Yaek Tha Khai’ because Tha
Khai Canal is nearby the area. Later, the government made up a
canal that connects San Saeb Canal and Tha Khai Canal together
as well as Kwang Canal and Nuang Khet Canal. So, the junction
was made up and later become the center of trading among the
community. Earlier, the area was mostly occupied by Chinese or
Thai-Chinese merchant. But, after the time passing by, the
market was gradual abandoned. This is why Nuang Khet
municipality needed to initiate the renovation project for this
market. The purpose of the project is to make sure locals can
earn more to sustain their life as well as to conserve a good
old Thai culture.
The highlight of the market any
visitors will be impressed is the fact that you will be
encounter with a retro atmosphere and, at the same time, can
enjoy the nature and appreciate the prosperity of the past. You
can spot the lifestyle of the locals and can be fascinated with
the old wooden building along the canal. Nakhon Nuang Khet
Ancient Market is quite bigger than Baan Mai Market and Khlong
Suan Market. Plus, Nakhon Nuang Khet Ancient Market can give any
visitors a chill because of its atmosphere that were rarely
blended with the capitalism world. |
