Ban Rachan Old-style Market - Great Day Trip From Bangkok - Singburi Thailand 2023

Singburi province is steeped in folklore and famous for the brave heroes of Bang Rachan who fended off the Burmese army against huge odds. This gives the area a great deal of historical importance to the Thai people.

The heroes of Bang Rachan were famously known for their self defense camp, which fended off the Burmese army with only a few soldiers and civilians. Thai’s all know the story as its taught in schools from a young age.

Bang Rachan Memorial Park and the Heroes of Khai Bang Rachan Monument pay tribute to the heroic villagers of Bang Rachan who bravely fought against the Burmese army in 1765. And in spite of being outnumbered by more than 10 to one, the Burmese soldiers had to make eight attacks before the Thai villagers were overrun due to their lack of weapons.

One vintage market in Bang Rachan takes visitors back to those days of glory. The Bang Rachan Old Style Market opened in 2016 to preserve the historical importance of Bang Rachan using period construction, costumes, tools, and settings as even the vendors dress up exactly like people from that period.

Visitors can even rent a Thai costume of their own with various styles to choose from. That way they can take pictures in the historical market setting or with the actor ‘warriors’ guarding the fictitious gate of Bang Rachan.

The market has vendors selling all of the Thai favorites as well as regional cuisine and local products. You can also see a reenactment of the famous battle where the actors perform on a stage next to the river.

Ban Rachan Old-style Market is located about 2-3 hours north of Bangkok in Singburi. There are many other things to see and do in this area making it a great day trip from the city.
