Why Sunday? Because this is where the @ Pak Phanang Retro Market is located, which is a very interesting new tourist attraction. It is a tourist destination in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Pak Phanang District, or Pak Nang, a word commonly used by local people. Pak Phanang District is a port town and an important trading center on the east coast. Therefore, it has been a place where people come to shop for a long time.

For those who prefer to travel by private car, you can set your GPS to the Retro Market @ Pak Phanang. For those traveling by public transport, you can set your starting point at the Agricultural Market 2. There are both Surat Thani-Nakhon Si Thammarat vans and Surat Thani-Nakhon Si Thammarat minibuses available. The ticket price is 120 baht and the journey takes 2 hours.


From Nakhon Si Thammarat to Pak Phanang, you can take either the **bus** for 26 baht or the **van** for 36 baht. The journey takes 45 minutes.


The highlight of the trip is the 1 baht boat ride across the river. Don't miss it! The two piers are the Passenger Ferry Pier, which takes you from the Pak Phanang bus station on the west bank to the Pak Phanang Centennial Market on the east bank (you need to take a motorbike taxi to get to the Retro Floating Market, or walk 1 km if you prefer). The other pier is the Car Ferry Pier, which takes passengers and motorcycles from Wat Khongkha Sawat on the west bank to the Pak Phanang Police Station on the east bank, which is close to the Retro Floating Market.



We have arrived at the @ Pak Phanang Retro Market. In this market, everything is truly like the old days. The vendors are all dressed in beautiful Thai retro clothing. It's like stepping back in time.






Prepare your stomachs, everyone! Be careful not to overeat, because the food is **fresh, clean, delicious, and incredibly cheap**! The containers used for the snacks will be made of **earthenware, banana leaves, woven palm leaves, lotus leaves**, and if it's a bag, it will only be a **paper bag**. It truly lives up to its name as a **retro market**!
