Talat Noi Street Art

“Talat” or “Talad” means Market & “Noi” means Small. The name of the market suggests that it is a small market. However, there is a lot of history attached to it. Let me take you on a virtual tour and answer some of the most common questions around Talat Noi.

I am excited to share my personal experience of Talat Noi, including its famous attractions, how to get there, what to eat, history, and some tips and tricks from a local’s point of view.

How Should You Go?

Location – 1172 Soi Chareonkrung 22, Khwaeng Talat Noi, Khet Samphanthawong, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10100, Thailand.

It is about 4 km from the Bangkok centre, and you can easily get yourself a taxi to get you there. 

BTS

Talat Noi is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Bangkok, filled with rich history and cultural heritage. As we explore Talat Noi, you’ll have the opportunity to experience authentic Thai lifestyles and traditions. 

During our tour, we will explore the vibrant street art scene, which has made Talat Noi a popular destination for artists and creatives from all over the world.

And we will end the tour at the Talat Noi Community Center, where you can learn about the efforts to preserve and promote this unique neighbourhood. Throughout our tour, I will share with you the fascinating history and cultural significance of Talat Noi while introducing you to some of its longtime residents.

Driving force

The “Antique Turtle Car” is another major attraction on the streets and is believed to be a Fiat 500 left unclaimed for years.

Apart from this, we can find Sieng Kong crowded with spare parts for cars. On moving ahead in the streets, we can also find long lines of cars of the locals.

Art

From colourful murals to intricate stencils, Talat Noi has a plethora of street art that reflects the history and culture of the area.

Each art piece in Talat Noi tells its own story, and this guide is an opportunity to explore them all. Whether you’re a resident or just visiting Bangkok, the Talat Noi Street Art Guide is a must-have resource for discovering the richness and diversity.

The street and its surroundings are perfect for people who are in love with photography.

What Else Can You Do Nearby?

After the tour is done, there is a lot to do nearby; you can visit the Klong Thom Night Market nearby, which was essentially known as the thieves’ market about forty years back. At this market, you’ll find all kinds of unusual items which are not manufactured any longer and aren’t available at everyday shops.

Kalawar Church is also a great place to visit nearby. It is a gothic-style church which had been built in 1786 and has been renovated and repaired several times over the years, hence maintaining its beauty.

Another amazing place to visit is Wat Phra Chetuphon which is the home to the famous reclining Buddha. It is one of the largest and oldest temples in Bangkok and is a site of cultural heritage.

Where to Eat?

Since Talat Noi is so close to the city centre, it is surrounded by amazing restaurants and food joints all around. 

You’ll be able to find delicious, mouthwatering food within a one-kilometre radius all around. From local street food at cheap rates to diverse cuisines from all around the world, you’ll get what you want with little to no trouble. 

There are many small cafes along the streets of Talat Noi as well, where you get good and aesthetic pictures of the gram!

When is the Best Time to Visit?

Although Talat Noi is open for visitations at all times of the day, I recommend going to Talat Noi at noon to observe the street art at leisure, before wandering into the Church or Wat Phra for some peace, And then end the night perfectly after the visit the famous night market!

Local Tips and Tricks

I highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing comfortably because the whole tour of Talat Noi is to be done on foot and can be quite exhausting and tiring in itself without even factoring in the uncomfortable shoes and clothes.

Make sure to take a lot of time in your hands before visiting because you’ll easily find yourself mesmerized by the art and unable to leave!

What You Should Not Miss

I would very much advise you to visit the Klong Thom Market if not the other places. It is considered a literal hidden gem, with its variety of antique and sometimes illegal items which you literally would not be able to find anywhere else in the world. 

Conclusion

Talat Noi is a beautiful place to visit in Bangkok and will show you a glimpse of old Thailand and its cultures and whatnot. 

The place is full of beautiful drawings and a dream for photographers and great for your social media as well, so do not forget to click pictures while soaking in this mammoth of talent and beauty.
