Saphan Han Market, Bangkok

Saphan Han Market is a market on both sides of the Khlong Ong Ang canal, which separates the Chinatown proper from the Phahurat district, which is the Bangkok Little India.

Saphan Han Market covers an area which comprise five alleys on one side of Khlong Ong Ang, and another two alleys on the opposite side. Yaowarat Soi 33, on the eastern side of the Khlong Ong Ang is the entrance to the market area. Entering, you are confronted by a rat maze of stalls. The passages seem dimly lit - even though you can see flourescent tubes aplenty. The skylight at the ceiling let some light in.

Here, you can find clothes, textiles, handbags, shoes, mostly ladies' items, as is also reflected in the shoppers visiting Saphan Han Market.

How to reach Saphan Han Market

Again, as of now, there are no Skytrains to this area. You can take a taxi, or if you are willing to walk, then take the Bangkok Metro to the Hualamphong subway station, and 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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
