Bắc Mỹ An Market, also known as Chợ Bắc Mỹ An, takes its name from the Bắc Mỹ An Ward where it stands in what used to be District 3 of Da Nang during the Republic of Vietnam era before 1975.
The market has served the local community in some form for more than eighty years, beginning as an informal open-air trading spot in the 1940s where villagers gathered to sell fresh seafood, produce, and everyday goods near the coast.
Formal construction of the covered structure started on 19 May 1990, transforming the spontaneous gathering into an organized wet market with dedicated sections for fresh goods and food stalls.
Over the following decades it remained a traditional daily-life market focused on groceries, but its location right beside the University of Economics drew waves of students and residents in the 1990s and 2000s, sparking the growth of dozens of affordable street-food stalls.
By the 2010s it had earned a city-wide reputation as a genuine food paradise while still functioning as a ...
The Thai national team, the War Elephants, hosted Turkmenistan in a high-stakes final match of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers Group D at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on March 31, 2026.
Both sides entered the evening tied on 12 points after five matches, with Thailand needing a victory to overcome the head-to-head deficit from their earlier 1-3 loss in Turkmenistan and secure top spot, while the visitors could advance with a draw.

This Mon style temple located on the bank of the Chao Phraya River in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. It was constructed in the Thonburi period. Inside the old chapel, the walls are finely decorated with paintings in the Mon style. The temple is known as the area where the shipwreck of King Rama V's queen took place. A palace has been built to commemorate her on the river bank.
Her body was temporarily placed in the monastery before lying in state in Bangkok.
The ship was salvaged later and kept in the dock near the ancient wiharn that enshrines a big reclining Buddha.
There is also a pavilion constructed as another remembrance to her death in the Bang Pa-In Palace.
The temple with the murals in the Ayutthaya style ordination hall, giant reclining Buddha and the shrine to the late queen make this a great place to visit. Worth a few hours of your time.
