Baan Mai Riverside Market (also called Ban Mai Market / Ban Mai 100-Year Market) has served the community since the era of King Rama V. Tourism Thailand lists it as a local market of Chachoengsao for over a century. You come for the boards under your feet, the river breeze, and food that is not staged for cameras.
What to do
- Walk the wooden market lanes slowly
- Snack: sweets, grilled bites, coffee
- Sit by the Bang Pakong and watch boats
- Pair with Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan the same morning
