Touch of History

“Luang Prot – Taan Liam” waterfront community used to be an old title of the Hua Takhe old market. It was named so to honor the land donors of this canal market. In the past, Thailand’s main transportation and commuting mode was by boat. It was therefore inevitable that this “Luang Prot - Taan Liam” canal-front community, which was the intersection of three canals, namely the Crocodile Canal, the Lam Pla Thio Canal and the Prawet Burirom Canal, was a bustling market, crowded with people and traffics.

The mellowness of this traditional community blending perfectly with the new generations’ vibe through "Art" at this Hua Takhe Market is worth the exploration. The local families living by the river still maintain their traditional way of life. The simplicity of life can still be seen everywhere within the market area, whether it be the school, the steel lathing factory, the mackerel steaming household business or the picture frame shop, all run by the locals, blended in a perfect combination with the youth of new generations.

Khun Nuch, the café owner is very kind and friendly. The restaurant offers a great variety of Southern Thai cuisine and cooked-to-order dishes. The café section serves fresh smoothies and refreshing fruit juices. Visitors can be ravished by the river view and relaxed atmosphere.
