marketThe old marketplace of Samchuk, Suphan Buri province, recently picked up a Unesco Asia-Pacific Award of Merit 2009, beating 48 other entries from 14 countries.
The Samchuk market dates back more than 100 years to when Chinese vendors first traded their wares along the Tha Chin River in central Suphan Buri province. The market was vibrant and famous for its forest produce before being renovated over the last five years to meet the demands of weekend visitors. Today, it makes for a nostalgic day out with its timeworn wooden houses and delicious, authentic food.
The Unesco Award of Merit is given in recognition of cultural heritage conservation.
