Suphanburi (province) Sights: Amphoe Sam Chuk (อำเภอสามชุก)
Old Market by Tha Chin River (ตลาดริมน้ำร้อยปี)
The market is located on Highway 340, by Tha Chin River next to Amphoe Sam Chuk District Office. This Chinese community and old-fashioned market with wooden shop houses remain in Thai original style a century ago. Visitors may be surprised to see a photograph shop, which remains taking pictures by a century-old camera, herbal drugstore, or enjoy tasting local sweets, sipping old-fashioned local-style coffee by the river. The three-story building dedicated to be a museum can draw visitors back to the yesteryears by different photographs featuring the way of life in the last era.
Wat Sam Chuk (วัดสามชุก)
Located at Mu 1 of Tambon Sam Chuk, some 600 metres off Highway 340, the ancient temple houses the Buddha footprint, sandstone Buddha statue from the Ayutthaya period, and a pair of bronze swans. There is no evidence to prove when this temple was built. An annual festival is held to honour and celebrate the footprint. For more information, call Tel. 0 3557 1791, 0 3557 1108, 0 3557 2755.
