This is famous among Thais, but not so among foreigners. "Otoko Market" is the food market in Bangkok. It is said that all food from Thailand is distributed through this market.
The market is located across the street from Chatuchak market, near Mo Chit station.
It is amazing CLEAN, which is absolutely shocking for Bangkok. Clean is not a word I would associate with Thai markets, but this place is unbelievable. The white tile floors are bright and clean, highlighting the equally clean food stalls selling fruit, dried fruit, juices, meats and vegetables. It's really a pleasant experience to walk around.
Here, I tried Mangosteen juice (anti-aging properties ladies!), banana chips, Chinese oranges and more.
If you do visit this market, be sure to come on an empty stomach! There are so many good things to try, buy and eat here. Highly recommended!

Melons (which are VERY expensive in Japan -- over $40 for one!)

ReplyDelete- Take the MRT (subway) to Kamphaeng Phet station.
- Go out EXIT 3.
- Otoko market is on your right at the top of the escalator. ^_^
