While this area is obviously flooded with tourists there is still the remains of a once-vibrant local community as seen in the markets around TNN Tani and Soi Kraisi. North of Klong Banglampoo, in the sois east of Samsen where many hotels and guesthouses are now opening, that community is currently being torn assunder but there's still a lot of food aimed at locals.... even though there are less and less locals in the area these days.
