Biggest Wet Market in Bangkok , Khlong Toey Markets.
Read about this place and decided that needed a trip there. This is a huge market place and you can find almost any kind of food or fruits there. It has the biggest variety of fresh produce like seafood, poultry, fruits, spices, meat, provisions....anything that should be at the wet market but in this part of today's tour of this wet market i will be taking you through the fruit and veggie section as the market is split into four different section it would just be impossible to fit it all in one post so here we go let's check out the different types of fruits and veggies you can find here in Thailand.
Klong Toey is a very fresh market, offering low prices on farm produce seafood , raw meat and a few other items you don't get many tourist visiting this market but the expats that live here all known about this wet market because it's so cheap and you can get everything you need here all in one place.
If you want to shop like a local well this is the market to visit in Bangkok all the restaurant owners , outside fruit and veggie vendors all come here to by wholesale. In fact most of your food served during your stay in Bangkok will most probably have been purchased from this wet market.
The wet markets can be very chaotic with a maze of stalls spread over 3 huge blocks of Bangkok concrete jungle and with vendors selling food and fresh cut up fruits lined up in the middle of the pathways you really need to have eyes in the back of your head as porters and motor cyclists weave their way through the crowded lanes but it's all fun and exciting to see how the locals work there day through.
It is eye opening to see how well synchronized it all function been so packed and chaotic and vendors shouting out at each other all in fun makes it seem like a big community party going on with the laughter going on among their selves it makes it a fun place to be with everyone happy and smiling.
Even this Parrot was having a good day chewing on his corn 😊
Even the Pancake lady was sitting high and happy like a happy Buddha up there on her perch making pancakes.
I got to tell you i experienced a lot of unseen and unfamiliar foods in this wet market the fruits i knew more of but the amount of different herbs i was seeing made me think why the food of Thailand taste so good when using all these lovely fresh herbs.
The fruits were just so fresh looking all mouth watering these little apples i bought some they were so sweet and crunchy like little gale apples but our ones are bigger but home.
If you want the real deal with markets in Bangkok, this one is definitely a must see you really feel for the buzz of the market and you know your in a Asia country when you see this wet market and after spending a couple hours or so walking around this wet market there will be a Tuk-Tuk out front to take all your shopping home and your poor sore wet feet 😎

That looks like a happening place. I wish we could get prices and variety like that here in Suriname.

It never ceases to amaze me, the sheer abundance and variety of foods that are offered here. This wet market is amazing and like you said, the people are what really make the place wonderful. Each and every person you focus on is either smiling or chatting or catcalling another person there.
How can a person not love a place like this?
The different varieties of fruit offered is staggering! Doesn't it just boggle your brain? I know that just looking at that makes my head spin. (In a good way, of course!) In what should be chaos is a semblance of how life is lived here. People appear to be happy in their station, whatever that is. I know that all isn't always rosy and happy, but, they seem to make the best of it. I can see in their faces, there is not the depressing end of the world look. It makes you put on a different attitude yourself.
I am amazed that they also have seafood and meat here too. The herbs really blew me away, most, I couldn't even identify, except that they were herbs. I can tell you that I would be experimenting with them, all day long. Do you use many of them?
You know Thailand and Asia, in general, have the best markets, ever!! I can never thank you enough for bringing them right to my doorstep! Thank you! I want to thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday! Each week, I post for the challenge to provide a different look of American culture, some of it over the top and some, everyday things. Sometimes, I just show places that I have gone to, all having an entry fee to qualify it for the #MarketFriday tag! It is a challenge to find new things during the pandemic, but, we still have to live, so we have been able to pull it off. It shows off how much we are alike and how different life can be. In the end, it makes it an experience that I look forward to. I appreciate the love and support you give to #MarketFriday! It Is heartwarming to see how many posts into the challenge, including you. Thank you! Truly! Your participation adds a unique flavor to the mix. I just love clicking on the link and having a new world open up, right before my very eyes! Thank you again for being a part of all this! It was lovely! I hope you have a wonderful week!
