What people say

"Wang Lang Market (ตลาดวังหลัง) in Bangkok Noi, near the Chao Phraya River, is a lively, daily market with historical roots. The name "Wang Lang," meaning "rear palace," originates from the early Rattanakosin period, during the reign of King Rama I. The area once housed the palace of Prince Anurak Devesh, the king’s nephew, and remnants of the palace walls remain visible nearby. Spanning about 300 meters along a narrow lane connecting Siriraj pier (or Wang Lang pier) to Arun Amarin Road, the market offers a vibrant selection of goods, from fashion and salon services to bakeries, sushi, restaurants, and cafes. Wang Lang Market is renowned for its authentic southern Thai cuisine, celebrated for its rich, spicy flavors, with additional southern-style eateries nearby at Phran Nok intersection. Located across from Tha Pra Chan pier near Thammasat University, the market captures both the historical essence and bustling charm of Bangkok."
"In my opinion the best food market in the city, and the most local one. While Chatuchak and Train Market are packed with foreigners, Wanglang Market is packed with Thai people. Hours: 8:00am-6:00pm daily "
"I loved this market, taking a walk between the streets and arriving at the river was a unique experience. I tried the cooked bananas with coconut syrup."
