Wang Lang Market, Food market in Siri Rat, Thailand.
Wang Lang Market is a food market in Siri Rat that runs along a narrow lane connecting Siriraj pier to Arun Amarin road. Food stalls, clothing shops, and bakeries line both sides of the passage in simple wooden structures and open stands.
The area was a royal estate of Prince Anurak Devesh during King Rama I's reign. Remnants of palace walls still stand near the market as traces of its earlier purpose.
This market serves locals seeking regional southern Thai dishes prepared using traditional methods passed down through families. The mix of food stalls, tailors, and bakeries reflects how the neighborhood sustains its daily rhythms through affordable, accessible commerce.
Boat taxis from Saphan Taksin BTS station offer regular access to the area across the river. The narrow lane can feel crowded during peak hours, so an early morning visit works better for moving around comfortably.
The market draws hospital workers from the nearby Siriraj hospital and university students seeking affordable meals, creating an unusual mix of medical professionals and younger customers. This combination gives the place a social dynamic that goes beyond shopping.
