"Talat Phlu": A Historical Marketplace

Talat Phlu, a small market situated on Thep Ratchada Road, is located adjacent to the Talat Phlu train station. Originally inhabited by Chinese communities during the Thonburi period, the area later witnessed an influx of Muslim residents following the Chinese migration to Phra Nakhon district. This confluence of cultures led to the establishment of betel nut gardens, giving rise to the name "Talat Phlu," which translates to "betel nut market."

This bustling market, "Talad Phlu," offers a diverse array of delectable culinary delights, both savory and sweet, that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Among the must-try dishes are:

Tender Beef Noodle Soup (@ เกาเหลาเนื้อเปื่อย)

The highlight is the melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly stewed beef, accompanied by a flavorful and well-balanced broth. Beyond the main course, a tempting array of sweet treats awaits, including เต้าส่วน (soft tofu pudding), ข้าวเหนียวดำเปียก (black sticky rice in coconut milk), ถั่วเขียว (mung beans), มันต้มขิง (ginger-infused taro), and ฟักทองแกงบวด (sweet pumpkin stew).
