Nakhon Nuang Khet Ancient Market

Enjoy the house architecture and full of friendliness from people in the community; worship the sacred objects, such as Thai Chue Ia Shrine and Pun Thao Kong Shrine, around the Municipality Office, Nakhon Nuang Khet Sub-District. This ancient market is formed by 4 famous families, which are Khun Anan Nuang Khet (The first Village Headman of Nuang Khet Sub-District), Thao Kae Mui Chaiwat, Thao Kae Mua Saiwanit, and Thao Kae Ngekchoen Yok-Ubon. Apart from these 4 familys, there were also other families that were not mentioned here who took part in the establishment of Nakhon Nuang Khet Market.

About the Canal:

Khlong Nakhon Nuang Khet was formerly dug in the year 1876 according to the royal intention of King Rama V. He had far ranging thoughts that this canal digging would facilitate the villagers in terms of agricultural and transportation, which would shorten the travelling time between Mueang Bangkok and Chachoengsao. When finished in the following year, it was royally given the name of “Khlong Nuang Khet” (the spelling in that period), which means the end of Phra Nakhon area. After the canal digging around the year 1878, this area became the settlement of most Thai-Chinese people who had a trading career and it was the center of trading by boat, especially the paddy rice, tea, oil, and fresh food. Therefore, the market became prosperous. However, when the transportation had changed and the road was cut for more prosperity, the trading was stagnant. The sellers in the market had packed up and moved to other places. The market was very quiet, only 2-3 shops were left. Therefore, the market must closed down unquestioningly, just like other markets near the river. At present, in the year 2009, Khun Loesan Saiwanit as Mayor of Nakhon Nuang Khet Sub-District had recovered the lifestyle of the ancient trading of this market by allowing the villagers to come back and do their trading career in the bank of the river again to generate income for their family and conserve the ancient culture, as well as opening Nakhon Nuang Khet Ancient Market as one of the tourist attractions of Chachoengsao province.

Ratchaburi  or "Rat Buri"  is one of the western provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are (from north clockwise) Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram and Phetchaburi. In the west it borders the Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar. Ratchaburi is 80 kilometres west of Bangkok and borders Burma to the west with the Tanaosi Range as a natural border. The Mae Klong River flows through the centre of Ratchaburi town.
Ratchaburi in the west of central Thailand is commonly considered the "province of the canals". Because the fertile area is not only flowed through by numerous rivers such as the Mae Nam Mae Klong, but irrigated by countless small channels that criss-cross the area. One of the most popular attractions in the region is the Floating Markets of Damnoen Saduak, a colorful market square in the middle of the water. Ratchaburi is a popular destination for stressed urbanites and curious Thailand vacationers: a magnificent national park with lush plant and animal life and bizarre stalactite caves in the limestone cliffs of the Tenasserim-mountains attract more visitors every year.

Ratchaburis attractions:

- Floating Market Damnoen Saduak
