The charm of the name "Gong Khong Market" Many people may wonder why it's called this. The answer lies in history. In the past, merchants would place their goods for sale on the ground, causing people who came to shop to have to "Gong Khong" (bend) down to look at and choose products. It is an image that shows the humility and simplicity of the Siamese people in the past. Nowadays, they still simulate that atmosphere for us to experience.
Foodies and shoppers must press like. What makes me like this market so much is the food. I can tell you, it's dazzling! Ancient Thai desserts. Some desserts are hard to find in Bangkok, but here there are plenty to try. Made fresh, smelling of incense. Delicious pickled fruits. If you like pickled fruits, the shop here is the real deal. The taste is mellow and clean. Retro items: Anyone who likes to collect zinc utensils, flower-patterned bowls, buckets, enamelware, or classic design pottery, I guarantee you'll get something to take home.
sookjai.club's favorite corner. Here, there is a shop selling "old records" and cassette tapes as well. Every time I walk past, I hear retro music playing along with the market atmosphere. It makes me feel like I've really gone back in time.
Summary of the trip. The market is located in Khanon Luang Subdistrict. Easy to travel to, with convenient parking. The merchants here wear very cute Thai costumes, smiling and speaking politely, saying "Jaokha/Khorap" all the way. Hey, if you don't have any plans for this holiday, try visiting Gong Khong Market. Then you will know that good things at affordable prices and impressiveness really exist.
