Period night market at Wat Mahabut Temple - Bangkok

We take a tour of the period market that is set up on the temple grounds every December. The temple itself has a long and storied history.

Wat Mahabut one of the 887 temples in Bangkok, is located in Phra Khanong in eastern Bangkok.

In 1762, five years before the fall of Ayutthaya, a monk visited the villagers in Phra Khanong. As the village didn't have a temple, the villagers invited the monk to stay.

Unlike the other temples in Bangkok, Wat Mahabut isn't renowned for its historical legacy or its ancient architecture. It's famous for a ghost, a female ghost, the legendary Mae Nak who has virtually become a household name in the community and beyond.

In addition to the story of the temple I show you around where we see many different types of Thai street food and deserts being prepared. We even get to see a snake charmer with 2 cobras showing off for the crowd. Enjoy the video!
