• At the Sunday Market you will find lots of tourists and Thai locals all gathered together having a good time looking for bargains.

• Many of the stall vendors make and sell their own products and the quality of craftsmanship is superb.
• There are a number of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in the Market area where you can opt out of the crowd and sit and enjoy a meal or a drink and watch the ebb and flow of shoppers.
• The Sunday Market really comes alive after dark when all the street entertainers, musicians, puppeteers, Thai dancers, and bands start to perform; and all the coloured light are turned on.
