Talat Noi

This microcosm of soi (lane) life in Bangkok is named after a small (noi) market (da laht) that sets up between Soi 22 and Soi 20 along atmospheric Soi Wanit 2, which runs parallel to Th Charoen Krung. Wandering here, you’ll find maze-like tentacular soi turning in on themselves, weaving through innumerable grease-stained machinery shops, grocery outlets, warehouses and people’s living rooms. The crumbling buildings, vivid wall art and tree-boughed alleyways make it a fantastic area for casual ambling and candid street photography.
