One the outside of the market, across the street from Siriraj Hospital, vendors line up in a row of grilled bananas, vendors selling every possible Thai dessert, grilled and fried pork, fish, chickens… basically you name it, you’ll find it at Wang Lang. There’s enough food at Wang Lang to write an entire book on it.
Just down the road from Wang Lang Market is one of the best southern Thai food restaurant in Bangkok.
Wang Lang is one of my favorite areas of Bangkok that I recommend in my food guide.
How to get there: The easiest way to get to Wang Lang Market is to take the public boat to Wang Lang Pier – you can easily catch the boat from Saphan Taksin (take the BTS there), and then ride the boat north until Wang Lang Pier. You can also take a boat across the river from Ta Phra Chan pier to Wang Lang Market
Open hours: Open in the daytime from about 9 am – 5 pm daily
Optional restaurants in the area: At Wang Lang market you don’t really need to plan to eat somewhere, you can just walk and see what you find – there’s so much to try!
Bangkok Food Tip #3: It’s a sure bet to find awesome street food in 3 different locations: outside hospitals, outside universities, and outside shopping centers.
