150-Year-Old Bang Phli Old Market http://www.hotsia.com > Travel Samut Prakan > 150-Year-Old Bang Phli Old Market Travel information about Samut Prakan by Mr.Hotsia Lotus Throwing Festival - Bang Phli Lotus Receiving, Hia Dam Noodle Bang Bo, Fool Catching Contest with An Nae Mr.Hotsia recommends good and affordable hotels on sale in Samut Prakan Along Khlong Samrong from the start to the end at Bang Pakong River, there are many ancient markets because locals here live by the water and go shopping by boat.
For doctor visits or buying food, people needed their own boats to row and travel by boat, which created many old waterside markets such as Bang Bo Market, Bang Phli Noi Market, and Bang Phli Yai Market. When roads reached these areas, the need for boats decreased. Some markets were damaged by fire, leaving only a few markets preserved until today. (Located by a small canal of Khlong Samrong) This 150-year-old Bang Phli Old Market still remains today. The old market refers to the original wooden market buildings constructed long ago.
Most shops have been open since ancient times, selling all kinds of goods like a Bic C supermarket today but separated into individual shops, not combined in one store. The market offers food, daily necessities, fabrics, pharmacies, traditional healers, fertilizer, tractors—everything. In the past, anyone who wanted something could come by boat and get it all. This large old Bang Phli market still preserves much of its original character, though some shops now sell sweets, clothes, and souvenirs aimed at tourists, adapting to modern times for survival.
It is considered the oldest and most ancient, close to Bang Phli Noi Market, which was mostly destroyed by fire. The old market by the ancient canal is different from a floating market. Floating markets sell goods on boats without a market building on the shore. Most floating markets started in gardens where people brought goods to sell, like Damnoen Saduak. The canal-side market has shops along the canal. Amphawa Market is both a canal-side and floating market. Visitors to the ancient Bang Phli Yai Market can also pay respects to Luang Pho To at Bang Phli Yai Temple.
Luang Pho To is a sibling of Luang Pho Sothon and Luang Pho Wat Ban Laem. According to legend, their footprints appeared in the water together. Luang Pho To came ashore at the lotus pond in Bang Phli Yai, leading to the Lotus Throwing and Receiving Festival that continues today. Recommended: 150-Year-Old Bang Phli Ancient Market, truly old.
