Things to Do in Chachoengsao

A historic alley in the old Chinese quarter with restored shophouses, street art murals, and small local eateries. The area comes alive at weekends with a walking street market selling antiques, crafts, and street food.

🕐 Open 24/7 for walking; market Saturdays and Sundays 4pm-9pm

💡 Walk through slowly and look up — many murals are painted on upper floors. For cheap eats, try the khao tom (rice soup) stall near the entrance. The market runs Saturday and Sunday evenings only.
