Phahurat Market
ตลาดพาหุรัด
Thailand's Little India — a dense textile bazaar with tailoring lanes and Indian groceries folded against Sampeng.
Little India's fabric quarter — saris and trim in the lanes around the gurdwara. Chinatown's neighbor and counterpoint.

Checked 10 Oct 2026 against openstreetmap.org, wikidata.org. Things change: closures for royal ceremonies and holidays are common.
Timing it right
- Market hours vary enormously — some are weekend-only, some are night-only, and a few are both.
- Cash still rules the small stalls; bring small notes.
- Go early or late. The middle of the day is the hottest and most crowded part of any Bangkok market.
Check which days and hours this one actually trades when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
