Description
"Koi Kee Old Market is a walking street market located along Woradet Road, next to the Mae Klong River. In the past, this area was a trade market for dragon jars. There is evidence of an old pier along the Mae Klong River. It later closed due to the convenience of land transportation. Ratchaburi Municipality decided to create a walking street market to stimulate the economy and reminisce about the old market days."
