Wat Temple’s Sunday Market in the city of Tampa is one of the most popular food events in the city, and now guests can enjoy the array of food drive-thru style. From 8:30am-1pm, the Wat Mongkolratanaram, a Buddhist Temple, serves up the most celebrated Thai food in the region.
The temple itself is one of the most remarkable structures in the city. For years, dining in-person was as much a part of the experience as the food itself. During the pandemic, those behind the Sunday Market found a way to continue to serve the community, even if from a safe distance.
