Robyn: Yeah, I forgot to mention that I got there too early–mostly due to the information on a Thai-language food map that suggested that most restaurants opened early. This wasn’t the case… I’m hoping to make another trip at lunchtime sometime soon. The old man I mentioned said the same thing about the traffic and lack of parking.

When are you going to post stuff from your trip to Naan? I love northern food and have had some good nosh in Naan.

One of my favorite markets in BKK. You don’t say what time you went, but the place doesn’t usually get going until 10:30-11a when the government workers in the area start taking their snack breaks. We’ve been there at 830-9a and the place is quiet, and it’s dead on wknds. (Another problem I think is the traffic in the area - almost always horrendous during the wk.)

There’s been talk of refurbishing or tearing the market down for years. I would love to see the city govt put some effort into a really sensitive and respectful refurbishment - touching up the shophouses, as you say. There’s so little left of old Bangkok and this market is a treasure (more should be done to alert tourists to its existence, as well).
