Phahurat Market, Bangkok

Phahurat Market is a market within the Little India of Bangkok. What is the more fascinating is that Bangkok's Little India is within Bangkok's Chinatown, or rather on its western fringe.

The Phahurat Market was named after Phahurat Road through which it is located. A visit to this market is like a walk through Mumbai. You will hear the sound of Indian music in the stereo while smell the different spices in the streets. There are stalls selling fabric, saris, table cloths, curtains, in the brightest of colours.

There are jewellery stores as well as costume jewellery stalls displaying bright and shinny bangles, and Indian restaurants with their naan and samosas.

How to reach Phahurat Market

Either take a taxi direct or take the Bangkok Metro subway to the Hualamphung subway station and then walk from there.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
