Rong Kluea Market, Thailand's Largest Border Market

Rong Kluea Market, alternately Baan Klong Leuk Border Market, in Tambon Klong Leuk, Aranyaprathet district of Sa Kaeo province, is Thailand’s largest border market.

The shops are in row of continuous partitions that sell all sorts of merchandise; apparels, socks, bags, shoes, dolls, brass ware, enamelware, ceramics, tableware, curtains, electrical appliances from Russia, basketry, cured fish are amongst the readily available offerings, some of which are brand-new, other are used, imported products from different sources like China, Hong Kong, Korea, Cambodia and Thailand. While they are quality products, they are also good value of money.

The market bursts into life early at 7.00 a.m. as vendors and customers make bargains which effectively add to the clamor of the trading hub. Such portrays yet another element of a community where people of different races converge.

Apart from the original Rong Kluea Market, this border market has now expanded to four other areas including Dej Tai Market, Tesabarn 3 Market, Benjawan Market and Subsomboon Market where 3,000 shops are operating.
