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

Come hungry and after dark. This is a proper food market, not a supermarket. Around 50 to 100 small stalls line Thanon Sangchuto near the clock tower. Most offer food that you eat standing up or at the plastic tables set up between them. The clientele is predominantly Thai, which tells you a lot about the prices and the cooking.

My tip: Walk the entire route before making a decision. Many stalls offer the same things, and you'll easily find four or five different cold desserts. So there's no point in buying the first thing that catches your eye. Regulars particularly praise the Yen Ta Fo, the pink noodle soup with fermented tofu, and the Moo Ping skewers. There are baked goods, snacks, and even pizza if someone in your group gets tired of Thai food. One reviewer mentioned Pad Thai in 2020 for 35 baht, including free ice water – that gives you a rough idea of ​​the prices.
