★★★★★2 months agoIt was fun , you can expect a very local food here, cheap yet delicious Walk outside the aisle , there a lot of food stalls, with student price! Go to saphan taksin bts, walk to sathorn pier, and ride to Prannok pier only Thb 23

★★★★★8 months agoA local known market mainly known by the Thai folks by the riverside. From here you can easily take a ferry to the famous Grand Palace, Wat Arun or Icon Siam as well. Only open in the morning till early afternoon with a wide variety of clothes trinkets knickers knacks etc. Worth a visit if you are looking for authentic Thai food and stuff are not expensive either.
