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

Think of it like street food without the fuss. The market is located in the basement of ICONSIAM and is divided by region: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Central Thailand each have their own section, alongside handicrafts and local produce. If you're traveling with someone who dreads plastic stools and roadside woks, this is the place for you. The catch: the prices. They're significantly higher than what you'd pay for the same dish elsewhere, and critics aren't shy about saying so.

Pad Thai and mango sticky rice are always popular, as are the shrimp and squid skewers, although one guest found the sauce too sweet. The desserts are generally well-received. When asking about the spice level, "less spicy" is still quite hot, so it's best not to order anything if you're unsure. There's also an indoor water feature with light effects, which is particularly impressive after dark.
