Oh Poi Market, Suan Phueng, Ratchaburi

Let me introduce you to the temple market that has become a landmark of Suan Phueng, ‘Oh Poy Market’, a representative of the good culture of the community. It is a market of Thais of Karen descent who immigrated with the Mon people in the past. Oh Poy means ‘rest’ in the Karen language. Therefore, they have created a very chill atmosphere for eating and drinking amidst big trees like this. It opens every Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Since this market is located next to the Pachi River, it is extremely peaceful and cool. The sound of water flowing from a weir that looks like a small waterfall plays a role, making the atmosphere even more chill. The stalls are made of bamboo with thatched roofs that blend in well with nature. They sell food, drinks, local snacks that look unusual, and souvenirs that are tempting to pick up and buy. What we really like is that every shop emphasizes using natural materials or recyclable items, such as bamboo cylinders, clay cups, rice wrapped in banana leaves, and cups made from Krathong, served in bento boxes that give a feeling of saving the world and creating a great environment. #Markets and Walking Streets
