Mahseer Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Burma border market is at Dan Singkhon. This clip is a year old but prices are mentioned which will help with bargaining if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreetravels Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 this is great info-many thanks. Hopefully someone in the know will kindly advise me if Dan Songkon is closed for good or whether there is a good chance that it will still be open. I am guessing it is closed due to problems with Myanmar illegal immigrants. Sigh. We don’t want to drive out of way to get there for nothing.

carefreetravels Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 thank you Khun La! Are you absolutely sure the place is still open? Sorry, but we really want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahseer Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 You are travelling by car and the market is only 10 minutes off highway 4 just before you reach Prachuap so it won't take much to check if others don't confirm either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreetravels Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 thanks-good to know. We are not yet familiar with the area as we just bought a property and it is still under construction. We are real newbies. We will get better with time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickG16 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Aren't those chairs really uncomfy to sit on? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are and an absolute pain to move as they weigh a ton but if that's your style then Dan Singkhon is the place. Top tip when purchasing: Agree a delivery fee then let someone else test their back. The chairs are well heavy but a decent size one piece table an absolute lump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting area to look around and there used to be an absolute mass of fabulous orchids for sale there but haven't been since Covid got in the way. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but we really want to be sure. Yes, was there a while back, as we'll be getting a bed frame from one of the vendors. They're open 7 days a week, 1st link. About 14 kms off the main road, Phetkasem / hwy 4, just follow signs for Dan Singkhon. I'll be out that way myself, next month, for 90 day pulse check, if not sooner, hopefully, depending when our house build is done.
