Nang Loeng Market, built in 1899, is the oldest indoor market in Thailand. Here, just a short walk from the Imperial Palace, vendors still sell ancient and rare foods, preserving old traditions and making what is collectively some of the best food in Bangkok. It's a place we'd always wanted to truly understand, but had never had the chance to really dive deep into- the best food is, after all, only sold for a short time every morning.
So we took a trip to Nang Loeng with the idea of eating as much as we could, and, with the help of our friend Gary Butler the Roaming Cook, figuring out what it was that we might find to show us what Thai food looked like at the start of the 20th century.
