Bangkok Fresh Markets

Fresh markets can be a feast for the senses. Those really "into" Thai food, or just into food in general, may really find them interesting. While modern supermarkets are quite common all around Bangkok, many Thais still prefer to get fresh produce at traditional markets. The big markets are the most interesting, and there are several that are easy for the independent traveler to find:

Aw Taw Gaw

The Agriculture Ministry's demonstration fresh market is one of the easiest markets to get to, and it's also the one of the nicest fresh markets you'll find in Bangkok.

Klong Toey

The sprawling market next to Bangkok's main sea port sells fresh seafood, fruit, vegetables, and just about everything else you can think of.

Pak Klong Talat

Right next to the royal city is Bangkok's oldest wholesale fresh market. With lots of fresh flowers and traditional sweets, the market is definitely a feast for the eyes.
