This is Klong Toei Market. It's the biggest fresh food/open air market in Bangkok. It's been here for seemingly ever. It's big, it's smelly, it's grungy, and it's raw! And I mean that in all the good and bad ways.
Vegans, Vegetarians, and Animal lovers.....please turn the page and don't come here unless you don't mind having nightmares. Blood and guts of all sorts of things can be found in this place. I wore my water shoes here on a sunny day! They don't call it a wet market for nothing!
Now if you don't mind looking at a cage of turtles next to a table full of suffocating live fish than this place makes for one hell of a cultural experience. Besides all things wet and slimy you do have a lady in the back selling soft drinks of the bizarre kind.
Besides the cultural experience and photo op, we came for the huge selection of fruit and produce at prices half those of the big box stores. I'm also a meat eater, but not in these sanitary conditions. When it comes to meat it's either too fresh and you may have to bring it home and kill it yourself, or you may need to wash your meal down with a bottle of antibiotics to keep the salmonella at bay. Refrigeration, who needs that? So to error on the side of caution, watermelon was looking good and safe!
It's looking like 1912 up in here! Maybe I should have edited the photos in black and white just to fool you! Now come along on a wild ride through food heaven or hell, you decide; here at the Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok Thailand!

NOTE: Please forgive the not so personal reply that you normally get from me. Although I have enjoyed them, I unfortunately have a family funeral to attend on Friday and I have been preoccupied at the moment. Please understand that it was the unexpected death of my brother, who was young, and it was before COVID, but, he was waiting to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. COVID put his burial off, and now I get to relive it all over again. :/ He will be buried on Friday, with full military honors. There will be no #MarketFriday on Friday October 2. However, if you put one up, or it is scheduled, I will get to it as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.
#MarketFriday loves you!
