A Thonburi community market beside Khlong Bangkok Yai, known for street food and Teochew-style gui chai dumplings.
Talat Phlu is an old market community on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, beside Khlong Bangkok Yai. It was once the main wholesale market for betel leaves and areca nut, which gave the area its name, and in the 1950s and 1960s it was compared with Yaowarat. Today it is best known for street food, including gui chai, Teochew-style dumplings stuffed with garlic chives or other fillings.
