Now Sam Chuk is officially a "Learning Center" – kids from local schools and even Bangkok schools
come to learn about local history, which is alive in this historic market. In schools, we learn only about
national history: the Ayutthaya Period, the Rattanakosin Period, this war, that war, etc. We never learn
about our local history. On the weekends, when they have holidays, many of the community kids act as
volunteer tour guides to take visitors around the market, showing them the "living museum" houses, telling
about the history of the place
