This bazaar is fragrant with the intoxicating aroma of spices and dazzles with the bright colors of various fabrics. Snow-white cotton, soft silk, and weightless batiste - all this we owe to immigrants from South India, who set out across Asia in search of a better life, reaching Thailand as well.
Phahurat Market is located in an area inhabited by Indian ethnic minorities, which explains its distinctive color. They sell clothes, curtains, and sewing accessories here - and all of it at extremely low prices!
In the narrow, whimsical alleyways you will also find household goods and silk bags. Just do not spend all your money at once, because you still have to choose from the spices, whose distinctive aroma seems to have seeped into all the goods. Nutmeg, vanilla sticks, turmeric, anise, peppers of all kinds - you will find seasonings here even for true gourmets. Be sure to buy the traditionally Indian spice "curry" - as is well known, it stimulates the immune system.
And the best way to remember your vacation in Thailand and your walk through Phahurat Market after returning home is to light a stick of incense - there are plenty of them here too, for every taste!
