Bang Nam Pheung Market

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:01:31

An easy escape from the city, this buzzy, weekends-only market is located on the Phrapradaeng Peninsula, a vast rural-feeling district. Because it’s a Thai market, the emphasis is on food, and it’s a great place for unrestrained outdoor snacking.

To get there, take the BTS to Bang Na and jump in a taxi for the short ride to the pier at Wat Bang Na Nork. From there, take the river-crossing ferry (4B) followed by a short motorcycle taxi (10B) ride.

The market is a stop on the many bike tours that criss-cross the peninsula, as are Wat Bang Nam Pheung Nok , a 250-year-old temple near the pier, and Si Nakhon Kheun Khan Park , a vast botanical garden with a large lake and birdwatching tower.
