in #marketfriday6 years ago

Hello market people well here we are again it only seems like yesterday and here we are again another MarketFriday and another weekend to look forward to. This time i decided to take a walk along the Bangkok canal where i heard there are many interesting markets by the canal.


Those big seeds are out of the Jack-fruit they are boiled spiced up and mixed with some more fruits like apple , mango or pineapple slices and their you go you have a spicy Thai fruit salad. The Jack-fruit seeds taste a lot like a huge cashew nut.

This is only one of the Bangkok Canal Markets on this stretch of canal it runs for miles up the center of Bangkok City. In Thailand they call it Khlong Saen Saeb Bangkok Waterways it's a very vibrant and exhilarating canal it's reminds me of the river in Venice , Italy when i was there years ago. There are many beautiful sights along this canal the old city and the new city of Bangkok and i will definitely be coming by this canal again to discovery and learn more about this side of town.

Time to go home i cross one of the canal bridges board the high speed boat and head out to the next nearest BTS monorail to take me closer to my place. I had walked about 10 kilo meters that day sight seeing along the canal and i had quite sore feet was not going to walk back to my place after that long exciting and interesting journey down the canal.

I have to give you credit! You have consistently got the most abundant markets in the world!

I think it probably comes from eating fresh every day and they need to keep tons of it available. To say that I am blown away is an understatement when we are talking luscious fruits and veggies that literlly line every available street.

A big wow from me for producing such stellar blogs every week!

Upped and Steemed Tip!

Thank you Denise your words are always so kind and is that which empowers me to keep on bringing the best to the marketfriday.

It is amazing how Thai people shop for fruit and veggies every day i think they only buy enough for that night and then pick up fresh again on the next day on there way home. Amazingly i have seen these vendors sell out buy the end of the evening there is a lot of people to feed here and they eat well and lots.
