Picture Lion_HeartLat Chado Weekend Market ตลาดลาดชะโด: A century-old canal-side market in Phak Hai district with well preserved wooden shophouses on both sides of a U-shaped walking line. Most vendors are elderly residents with talent for cooking and creating handmade products, so you discover handmade pillows and cotton bags as well as Thai desserts and traditional dishes such as thong yod, foi thong, tod man, hor mok and mee krob. A shophouse has been turned into a cinema hall. Old Thai movies that were filmed in Lat Chado are shown. A museum documents the history of the community and shows tools of farmers or species of fish found in the canal such as chado, which belongs to the same family as the snakehead fish. Karnjana Karnjanatawe tells the story of this market in Bangkok Post and also in this article by Patsinee Kranlert. The market was rated among the best preserved wooden buildings by the Association of Siamese Architects. Nearby Wat Dusit Ratchamatcha, also called Wat Lat Chado, with the Buddha image of Luang Phor Toh dates back over 200 years.
