Things to Know Before You Go
Before you head to Phahurat Market, be prepared for a sensory overload. The market can be quite crowded, and the narrow streets can get busy with locals and tourists alike. It’s a good idea to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to haggle for the best deals. If you're unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, you’ll find delicious food stalls selling traditional Indian dishes like samosas, dosas, and spicy curries. Don’t forget to bring cash, as many shops may not accept credit cards. It’s also a good idea to carry a water bottle, as it can get hot, especially during the midday.
How to Get There
Phahurat Market is conveniently located in the heart of Bangkok, and you can easily reach it by various forms of transportation. The closest BTS station is Ratchawong, which is about a 10-minute walk from the market. Alternatively, you can take a Chao Phraya River ferry to the nearest pier, Ratchawong Pier, and walk to the market from there. Taxis and tuk-tuks are also readily available, but be sure to ask the driver to take you to “Little India” or Phahurat Market to avoid confusion. The market is also well-connected to the rest of Bangkok by road, making it easy to reach from most tourist areas.
When to Get There
The best time to visit Phahurat Market is during the day when the market is fully operational and bustling with activity. It’s open every day, but visiting between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM will give you the best experience, as the stalls will be at their busiest and you'll find the widest range of goods available. If you want to avoid the crowds, try to visit in the morning or late afternoon. Additionally, weekends tend to be busier, so plan accordingly if you want a slightly quieter experience.
Day Trips from Bangkok
Phahurat Market is located near several other notable attractions, making it easy to combine your visit with other cultural sites. After exploring the market, head over to the nearby Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, which are only a short distance away. You can also visit Wat Arun, just across the river, for stunning views of the city. If you’re interested in more shopping, the nearby Yaowarat (Chinatown) is a vibrant area known for its street food, markets, and unique stores. A visit to Phahurat Market can easily be paired with these other Bangkok highlights for a full day of exploration.
