Wang Lang Market

Wang Lang Market is a bustling daily local market on Wang Lang Road in Siriraj, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok, located near Siriraj Hospital and the Chao Phraya River opposite the Grand Palace area. Known for affordable street food, clothing, accessories and everyday goods, it serves hospital staff, students and local residents. The market is notable for its authentic local atmosphere, dense food stalls and convenient ferry access via Wang Lang Pier.

Visitors can expect a dense, covered and open-air market with narrow aisles lined with stalls selling street food, snacks, clothing, shoes, accessories and household goods. The setting is lively and crowded, especially around lunchtime, with food vendors preparing dishes to order, small seating areas, and a strong local clientele. The market is located a short walk from Wang Lang Pier (Tha Wang Lang) on the Chao Phraya River, with easy ferry connections to the historic Rattanakosin side.

The Wang Lang area takes its name from Wang Lang Palace, the former residence of Prince Anurak Devesh, Vice-King in the early Rattanakosin period. The palace grounds later became the site of Siriraj Hospital, Thailand's first modern hospital founded in 1888. The market developed over decades to serve hospital personnel, medical students, and the surrounding riverside community.

Wang Lang Market is a well-known community market reflecting everyday Bangkok life, popular with locals for affordable food and daily goods rather than primarily tourists. It represents the riverside market culture of Thonburi and the close relationship between the market, Siriraj Hospital community and ferry-based cross-river connectivity.
