Baan Mai Market at Chacheongsao


After admiring at Luang Por Sothorn , you can relax at a gazebo on the pier. There, you can find speed boats taking people to and from the market in town. There also boats to take a ride on a speed boat to Baan Mai market. The market is located on Suphagij Road, Chacheongsao municipality. It's a traditional floating market that has been with the province for over 100 year. The market has been buil since Rama V reign.

The place was a Chineses community and also a location to shoot period series. When we walk inside the market, you can feel tradition in the air. You will find that you are surrounded by food stalls and various retail stores. Thai food, Chinese food , and local dood are there waiting for you to try ; they are cheap and tasty. Traditional noodle can be a good choice as well. 

After finish eating, you can go have a cup of coffee to sit back and relax at a coffee shop watching people walk by. To buy some souvenirs for your special ones, to see oldie toys or to enjoy beautiful scenery while having ice-cream are great ideas.
