Talat Phlu or Talad Phlu is a community and marketplace by the canal Khlong Bangkok Yai in Talat Phlu subdistrict, Thon Buri district, Thonburi side of Bangkok. The history of Talat Phlu dates back to the reign of King Taksin of the Thonburi Kingdom, which followed the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. At the time, the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya river was the new capital of Siam. Talat Phlu was a community of overseas Chinese or Thai-Chinese, also including Muslims and Mon. After King Rama I took the throne, establishing the Rattanakosin Kingdom, the capital was moved across the river to the Phra Nakhon side. Most of the Chinese moved to live in Sampheng, but some of them remained, descending to the present day.
