About Thonburi Market - Sanam Luang 2

Sanam Luang 2 is a bustling market that has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike. It's a place where a variety of products are sold together in one place, reminiscent of the famous Chatuchak market, but without the overwhelming crowds and labyrinthine layout. The market is clearly divided into zones, making it easy for visitors to navigate and find what they're looking for.

The market features a pet zone, a tree zone, a food zone, and a second-hand zone, each offering a unique shopping experience. There's also a park, known as the garden groove, perfect for those who want to relax with family or engage in some exercise such as running.

Getting to Sanam Luang 2 is mainly done by private car, with ample parking spaces available. However, during the weekends, the market can get quite busy, and parking can be a challenge. Other forms of travel include buses and taxis, which are readily available and convenient.

The tree zone is a haven for plant enthusiasts, with a wide variety of plants available, from cacti to fruit-bearing trees and decorative plants. The zone also sells pots of terracotta, plastic, garden equipment, ornamental stones, and other things necessary to grow plants.

The pet zone is a paradise for animal lovers, offering a selection of land animals, aquatic animals, and exotic animals. Although not as extensive as Chatuchak market, it also offers various pet supplies and animal feeds.

The food zone is scattered throughout Sanam Luang 2, with a variety of restaurants, canteens, and takeout food stalls. There are famous places that sell popular egg snacks, which are a must-try for anyone visiting the market. Other food stalls sell a variety of dishes, some of which might be a little expensive, but well worth the price.

The second-hand sales zone is a treasure trove for bargain hunters, offering a wide range of items from small Japanese crockery to large wooden cabinets and display cabinets. The zone is particularly busy on weekends, with many sellers and buyers flocking to the area.

For those interested in second-hand goods, it's best to visit on Saturdays and Sundays when most items are posted. For those interested in trees or equipment, Wednesdays are the best days to visit as new products arrive on this day.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok city's Chatuchak and night markets, this suburban market offers a unique shopping experience with its eclectic stores, local shoppers, and cheaper buys. Whether you're looking for crafts, household items, or food offerings, Sanam Luang 2 has something for everyone.
