Phahurat Market
ถนน ตรีเพชร แขวง Khwaeng Wang Burapha Phirom, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10170
Century-old South Asian textile market built around a Sikh temple, packed with fabrics, saris, and street food.
Phahurat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown takes its name from a princess who died young, renamed by her grieving father King Chulalongkorn after an 1898 fire cleared the land, and Punjabi cloth merchants soon filled the new shophouses. The guide follows the Sikh, Sindhi, Gujarati and Tamil traders who built this textile district, and the golden-domed Sri Guru Singh Sabha temple that has anchored their community since the 1930s. Look up above the fabric stalls for the temple's rooftop.
