Charoenkrung Soi 103 Community Market - Bangkok Thailand - Culinary Treats

Charoenkrung is one of Bangkok’s oldest neighbourhoods. Inside this alley bordered by a small waterway is a unique community where Buddhists and Muslim have been living together for decades. The community dates back to the reign of King Rama I when Muslims were brought from Pattani and relocated to Bangkok. It’s a common sight in the morning to see Buddhists offering food to monks on the main street while their Muslim neighbors walk to the mosque down the alley to pray.

The market shows off the diversity of the community through its wonderful food. Here you will find delicious treats, some of which owe their origins to the South or from countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Many others are rarely found in Bangkok.

For the past ten years, the weekend market, known as Suan Luang 1 Community Market, has been held on Charoenkrung Soi 103 on the morning of the first Saturday and Sunday of the month. It opens at 7am and continues until noon.

The market has so many foods to sample and the environment is amazing. The old style homes on the canal bank is in itself worth exploring and the food is something that you wouldn’t want to miss.
