Phahurat
Fabric and gem traders set up shop in this small but bustling Little India, where everything from Bollywood movies to bindis is sold by enthusiastic small-time traders.

Talat Noi
This microcosm of soi life is named after a noi (little) market that set up between Soi 22 and Soi 20, off Th Charoen Krung, selling goods from China.
