Although the name of the market sounds like an old market but it just opened this year. "Muang Ya 100 Years market" is a night market, very busy in the evening. The market itself is quite new but some old houses in the market and the area which is very old called "Sawai Rieang", that makes the name of the market. I've tried many foods there, so many choices and quite delicious. The day I took these pictues I've just been there too early so it's still quiet. The market is located on Mukkramontri street, the parking area is behind the market.

Really interesting. I've been past it a few times but never stopped there. It's nice to see some preserved old buildings. There are too few old buildings left standing in Korat city.
ReplyDeleteMy grand parents used to live in Sawai riang area, I've been there so often in the past, I remember the local Sawai Riang market which was very typical, unfortunately it's not exist anymore. I love the real market where locals bring their stuffs to sell in the market. Not like this one.
ReplyDeleteI do love to see old wooden houses, old buildings in town, old areas in downtown. They just remind memories of the nice old days..
