Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come for lunch, not shopping. This market is located on Mun Mueang Road, not far from the city moat. The real reason to visit is the food court in the back, where dishes cost between 35 and 50 baht. Fish noodle soup, stir-fried kale with rice, shrimp fried rice—everything is freshly prepared right before your eyes and served in such generous portions that the price seems almost ridiculous. Just at the entrance, there's a stall selling cha yen, Thai iced milk tea, which has garnered critical acclaim. It's worth the detour for that alone.

The rest consists of fruit, vegetables, meat, dried fruit, and household goods, all nestled within old wooden structures that give the market a completely different atmosphere than the concrete markets elsewhere in the city. Fifteen minutes is enough time to browse. Nobody bothers you. Anyone who's recently eaten a burger on Nimman Street and felt a little guilty about it will find the answer here.
