Talat Phlu Market, a long-standing fixture in Thonburi district, has been officially reopened after a significant renovation, aiming to be a hub of famous delicious food while promoting community tourist attractions.

A trading centre for Chinese immigrants on the Phra Nakhon side of the Chao Phraya River in the early Rattanakosin period when Bangkok was first established, Sampeng Market is separated by water from Krung Thonburi, another area that also boasts a commercial hub.
