Geocache Description:

One of the traditional Markets and an odd road.

Sip Sam Hang Road means in Thai, 13 firm road. It is very short, about 150 meters only, and has island in the middle. There is no evidence that there were only 13 trading firms on this road. There is a book apparently that talks of Canton, China, back in the day and there were 13 Firms in a trading center and were referred to as the guild. They were an association that supported each other. When the Chinese came to Thailand to trade they set up the guild system to support their businesses here too. They built a trade center just as in Canton and it is supposed that is why the road it called 13 Firm road. The trade center has long been demolished but the name odd as it is remains. Talat Yot is a wonderful market and worth exploring.
