Mahanak Market — Attraction in Si Yaek Maha Nak Subdistrict

The name Si Yaek Maha Nak means "Maha Nak Intersection" or "Maha Nak Four Corners". It's a water intersection. This area is famous for its past floating market. The name "Maha Nak" is named after Khlong Maha Nak (คลองมหานาค; Maka Nak canal). The canal has a starting point at the Khlong Rop Krung (คลองรอบกรุง; lit: around the city canal), which is part of the old city moat (Rattanakosin Island), from Saphan Mahat Thai Uthit (Mahat Thai Uthit bridge) near Ratchadamnoen avenue and then Mahakan fort passes through to the east. In this area it confluence with Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem (Phadung Krung Kasem canal) and flowing continuously to meet with Khlong Saen Saep (Saen Saep canal) at Ban Khrua quarter. All of these canals were built in the early Rattanakosin period during the reigns of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), Nangklao (Rama III) and Mongkut (Rama IV). It was the main transport route of the people in those days. It was the centre of travel and trade by boat and connected to Chachoengsao province, eastern by Khlong Saen Saep. It became a floating market at the end...

We were dropped off by a tuktuk. Raj and vijay were there to help me. The quality and craftsmanship were superb. Will be bringing more people in here in the near future. And recommend this place to anyone. Looking to buy a suit. I’ve looked at same suit places in thai siam fashion Bangkok but they were rude more expensive. I was skeptical at first but after I’ve tried it on and looked at stitches everything looks consistent, nothing out of place. All in all...
