Oh Poi Market, Ratchaburi 🌳

Oh Poi Market, a temple market that has become a landmark of Suan Phueng, Ratchaburi Province, is a market of Karen Thais.
Oh Poi means ‘rest’. Since this market is located next to the Pachi River, it is extremely peaceful and cool. The sound of water flowing from a weir that looks like a small waterfall plays a role, making the atmosphere even more chill. The stalls are made of bamboo with thatched roofs that blend in well with nature. They sell food, drinks, local snacks that look unusual, and souvenirs that are tempting to buy.
✨What we really like is that every shop focuses on using natural materials or recyclable items, such as bamboo cylinders, clay cups, rice wrapped in banana leaves, and cups made from Krathong, served in food containers, giving a feeling of loving the world and creating a great environment.
In addition, the staff and cleaners who clear tables and collect trash at the market are children in the community. They are very hardworking and diligent. The food prices are very cute, not more than 50 baht.

In the morning, around 7:00 a.m., there is an alms giving ceremony for monks on rafts, which is considered a highlight here. There are shops that beautifully arrange offerings for us to choose from (but we didn't make it in time today, lol). I think this is a representative of the good culture of the community.
