Walking Around Nakhon Pathom

Walking Around Nakhon Pathom with mr.hotsia: A city you shouldn't overlook

Nakhon Pathom is a province many people often drive through without stopping, thinking it's just a passage to the south. But for me, mr.hotsia, this city holds many hidden gems. It's not just the Phra Pathom Chedi, a national landmark, but also full of community life, fresh markets, local food, and stories waiting to be experienced on foot.

Starting the Walk in the City Center

As I stepped into the heart of Nakhon Pathom, the first thing I felt was the calmness and friendliness of the people. I walked along the road in front of Phra Pathom Chedi, which is not far fromMarket in Front of the BuddhaHere, there are plenty of roadside food stalls and street food to try. I recommend tastingHoi Tod Nai Phomwhich is one of the city's must-try restaurants. The crispy outside and soft inside oyster omelet has a balanced flavor that makes you want to come back for more.

Nakhon Pathom Morning Market: A Hub of Food and Culture

The next morning, I woke up early and went toNakhon Pathom Morning MarketThis is a lively place full of fresh produce and local food. You will see vendors chatting warmly with each other. The atmosphere feels like an old movie market I love to explore. Fresh vegetables, fruits, and various dried goods are neatly arranged, reminding me of the simple rural life still alive in this big city.

Must-Try Foods: Chinese Banquet and Stir-Fried Duck Basil

When talking about Nakhon Pathom, I, mr.hotsia, must say that the "Chinese banquet" here is as famous as anywhere else in Thailand. The special thing is many banquet restaurants raise their own ducks, so the food served is fresh and authentic. I once tried atMaitri (Jiam) Restaurantwhich was recommended by my friend and Anno on Tour. This place is outstanding because the food tastes delicious even when cold, showing the meticulous preparation and high-quality ingredients.

Also, stir-fried duck basil is another dish I really like. Nai Nae's restaurant, which I visited, is located a bit outside the city. But if you like spicy flavors and stewed duck innards, the stir-fried duck basil here will make you forget all other versions you've tried. You can read the story and directions to this restaurant atNai Nae's Stir-Fried Duck Basil

Walking Along the Canal and Absorbing Local Life

Nakhon Pathom is not just about markets and food. I also enjoy walking along the small canals that weave through the city. You can see local houses that still preserve their old charm, with villagers washing clothes, young women cooking by the roadside, or children playing happily in the water. This simplicity makes me feel that my journey is not just sightseeing but truly experiencing the life of the people here.
