Ta Tian Market is an immense fresh market place located by the riverside, opposite the white walls of Wat Pho. The market itself is easily missed by most visitors who often take a break at one of the charming little cafes under the arches of the Sino-Portuguese façades, and not many actually spot the small entrance right in the middle of this U-shaped heritage style building. This discreet door opens onto a short tunnel and beyond it, only the curious traveller would discover a gigantic and busy market sheltered under a very high ceiling. The place is more of a basic warehouse than a market, selling a huge array of dried sea products displayed in large sacks, wholesale cooking ingredients and all kinds of fresh products ranging from well known veggies to totally alien looking ingredients.

Reviews

Amazing morning out at the palace.

Great value for money! What I like about this agency they are very customer driven. Booked the Grand Palace and received my vouchers almost immediately. Ms May emailed me to reconfirm and the driver and guide was on time and the tour around the palace was fantastic. This is the only travel agent I have ever known to have several direct lines without extension numbers or recordings with emails and an emergency number. That’s great service when you are travelling alone in another country. Big thanks to the manager Nick who also helped me find my glasses on the bus which I left.

The tour guide was very kind and thorough. Enjoyed learning about the temples and landmarks. The architecture and various buildings are a photographer's delight!
