Ayutthaya Night Market

Ayuthaya


Besides a fun selection of food (including some rather uncommon ones, like fried butterfly pea flowers) and crafts sold from thatch-roofed stalls by vendors wearing period costumes, this weekend walking street market has boat rides, musicians, and sword-battle reenactments (7pm and 8.30pm).
