Adipa's Journey to the Retro Thai Market of Ban Rajchan, Singburi

Today, Adipati Chillawan takes us to a retro Thai market in the heart of Bang Rachan, the land of brave heroes in Sing Buri. This market is a collection of delicious food amidst a retro market atmosphere. The entrance to the market is built as a fort of the Rachan village made of wood, making us feel like we are going back to the era of the Rachan villagers in the past. The market is located within Wat Pho Khao Ton, Khai Bang Rachan District, Sing Buri Province, amidst large trees, making the market shady and cool. Plus, it's located by the river, making the atmosphere super chill.
