Recall the small trip to Bangkok at the end of 2015 and enjoy it in the afternoonAfternoon Tea at Okura Prestige HotelAfter that, take a taxi to the newly opened in 2015The Street Ratchada, And then went to the Hui Kuang Night Market. Wendy and Anya only discovered how they seem to run more and more often to the scenic spots along the MRT Blue Line. Is this a coincidence?Oh!no.This is definitely because after the development along Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok is saturated, the Ratchadaphisek Road where the MRT is located has also begun to develop gradually. We are only guided by commercial forces!
Transportation: How to get to Hui Kuang Night Market?
The starting point of Hui Khwang Night Market is between Exit 800 and XNUMX of MRT Huai Khwang Station. It is recommended to go out from Exit XNUMX and take a few steps. Pass by Jianxing Restaurant next to Exit XNUMX and turn left into Pracha Songkhro. Road, you can reach Hui Kuang Night Market.The entire night market has stalls on both sides of Pracha Songkhro Road, with a total length of about XNUMX meters. The first half of the roadside stalls sell ready-made food and beverages, clothing and daily necessities, and the second half of the roadside stalls sell vegetables, fruits, uncooked seafood and Mainly meat.
Even if the Ratchadaphisek Road becomes the new favorite area for land development, the Hui Kuang Night Market next to the MRT station, I believe it will not be too soon to follow the footsteps of the Sukhumvit 38 Night Market and Annu Night Market, in order to relieve the desolation of the disappearance of the authentic night market on Sukhumvit Road. Everyone can still take the MRT to visit this same authentic and cheap local night market.

Mobile roadside stalls at Hui Kuang Night Market
Hui Kuang Night Market is a local community-based night market. It sells things quite authentic and very cheap. The main customers are Thai locals.As a tourist who comes to Hui Kuang Night Market, you probably don’t want to chop meat, pick up vegetables, and buy fish for cooking. It is recommended to visit the cooked food, groceries and fruit stalls in the first half of the night market. When the raw meat and seafood stalls are on the road, you can turn back to the back road on the other side of the road.
With the growing reputation of the night market, there are also many free travellers here. Therefore, even if the prices of things are cheap, but the vendors see that they are obviously tourists, they will often flood the price, just like when we saw corn and grapefruit. I was very excited, obviously just like a tourist, so the purchase price is probably doubled. Although it is still cheap, some people suggest learning a few simple words in Thai to bargain the price, and some suggest not to speak and just take things for money. Zero, you will get a cheaper price.
In local night markets like Hui Kuang Night Market, we don’t shy away from posing as tourists, but in fact, we can’t pretend. No one will take a single-lens camera and take pictures of the stall selling chicken chops downstairs, right?Haha!
