Sam Chuk

 
UNESCO award for 'Sam Chuk'; living 100-year-old market

Thailand's Sam Chuk Community and Old Market District along the Tha Cheen River not far from Bangkok, northwest of the Thai capital in Suphan Buri province is a bit of Old China in once rural Siam. Witness to a disappeared way of life, the distinctive river and canal-side community was recently granted an Award of Merit in the 2009 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.
