Worth it?

Come for an older Bangkok market and lunch grazing. It works better as a daytime food-and-neighborhood stop than as an evening market destination.

If more of your shortlist points here, compare Chinatown / Old Town as a base.

Nang Loeng Market is one signal, not a reason by itself to choose a hotel. It sits in Nang Loeng, and RJNS currently gives Chinatown / Old Town the strongest stay fit for this stop. If more of your saved places cluster on this side of Bangkok, the area becomes more useful as a base.

Best when most of your saved places are around Yaowarat, Song Wat, Pak Khlong Talat, Nang Loeng and the river-side Old Town.
