Three Praengs

Three Praengs

………...Tucked between Tanao and Assadang Roads is a district where three streets join to enclose an old neighborhood. The Sam Preang area dates to the early Rattanakosin period and consists of three communties: Praeng Phutorn, Praeng Sapasart, and Preang Nara. The three praengs (crossroads) were named after the Princes who once lived there. After they moved out, Chinese settlers moved in and opened shops; the community gradually became more active and lively. To this day, many trades have survived… locals frequent this part of the city to visit barbers and tailors, buy leather, and go out for food.

Taling Chan Floating Market

……….Although Taling Chan market drifted away for a while, it’s been progressively revived over the past twenty years. On the weekends, Bangkokians proudly go to a floating market within the borders of their city. Cheery merchants sell produce from their own gardens and fields. With plenty of savory and sweet treats freshly prepared along the canal, it ensures your jaunt will be a fragrant one. The nearby plant market is also a nice stop if you’re looking to add a splash of green to your living space. If you spend a day by the khlong, you won’t go wrong.
