Warorot Market is in fact a historical landmark, where you'll see a fantastic and irresistible selection of speciality food ranging from fresh produce, ready-to-eat meals, snacks to genuine grilled northern-style side dishes like the spicy sausage sai oua, or the green and red chili dip called nam prik ong/nam prik noom that will please and satisfy nearly everyone still breathing. It won't disappoint.
Also, Warorot Market offers cheap souvenirs, Arabica coffee to locally grown tea. Here's where it gets exciting: you can have fun bargaining the final cost of any product you want. You are advised to get some idea on how much common items cost beforehand so you can know how high or low anything costs.
