The riverside market at Wat Sanjao in Pathum Thani has been around for nearly a decade. Initially, there was only one noodle shop along the riverbank. However, in 1997, during the economic crisis, disciples of the late Luang Por Son (the previous abbot) sought permission to sell goods from the back of their vehicles. After the passing of Luang Por Son, the new abbot, Phra Khru Bai Dika Napalai, along with the governor, district chief, and local administrative organizations, collaborated to revitalize the riverside market in 2002. Since then, the market has flourished, and today, the layout features organized stalls arranged in neat rows, along with large tents providing shade for visitors.
