Farmer's market at Chatuchak Bangkok

Chatuchak weekend market is one of the top destination for tourists to Bangkok. However, not many people know that across from the weekend market, there is another market selling foodstuff. This place is mostly frequented by locals only.

This time, as we were early, we went to the market first before going into the Chatuchak market. First, it was breakfast.

Too hungry, started eating before remembering to take photo.

The "hor mok" below which is the Thai equivalent to the Malaysian otak otak. The fish however is already mashed into the paste so you don't see any pieces of fish. Simple but really good!

This "hor mok" is very delicious

There was a queue for this rice dish. So we also had to try it. This dish is common throughout Thailand. It is rice with Chinese sausage, egg and char siew. The sauce is a sweet sauce. However, the dish from this stall is not as good as many others that I have tried. I am not sure why they are queuing for this.

Very common breakfast dish in Bangkok.

This dry noodle with char siew and crab meat is something. It is really delicious.

This dish is really good.

This is a Thai equivalent of the Malaysian popiah. The sauce is also a sweet sauce and the dish is also really good. A very satisfying breakfast.

Thai "popiah"

After the breakfast, I was energised to walk around the place. There were so many types of food to see. Apparently, this place is for the more affluent customers as the quality here is higher than most other markets.

Lots of different fruits from all over the world.

Wide spaces to walk and benches to seat unlike other markets.

Many types of snacks.

More food and snacks.

Huge choices of sweets and local delicacies.

A kow keng or Chinese "chap fun" or nasi campur in Malay.

More local cakes and sweets in beautiful packing.

Lots of dessert stuff.

More desserts stuff.

Even more sweets.

Freshly squeezed juices.

Thai "nam phrik" or types of "budu" to go with fresh vegetables (ulam)

Vegetable, yam filled dumplings. Not cheap though.

Steamed fish to go with "nam phrik".

Grilled seafood.

Look at the huge prawns. Yummy.

 Picked crabs anyone?

Lots of Thai spices for tom yum and other dishes.

Meats and poultry stall.

Prepacked vegetable with meat/sausage Vietnamese style.

Working making the vegetable dumplings.

Deep fried baby shrimp cakes.

Fried snacks.

Huge Thai durians. Had to try some!

Flower stall

We had to also pack more food to bring back to eat. However, I did not take photos of the things we brought. There are actually many other stalls that I did not take photos. 

I would recommend highly for tourists to come here as you can get a real good variety of food. the environment is also very clean.

Until the next time, cheers.
