Located close to the Chao Phraya river, and near Democracy Monument and Ratchadamnoen, both Tha Pra Chan and Banglamphu are old districts in Bangkok with great eating choices.
Some of the most classic and old-school restaurants that look like they’ve been in the food serving business for centuries can be found in this area of town.
You’ll find street food carts, snack stalls, shophouse restaurants, and a number of vendors selling the famous traditional Thai snack of kanom buang (ขนมเบื้อง).
The market close to the river at Tha Pra Chan weaves around in a baffle of stalls and carts; One may as well close their eyes and just let their nostrils do the navigating.
