Thais are early risers so that fresh-products markets can be visited from the early morning hours. Therefore, those travellers curious about the authentic Thai daily life should get up early and drop by one of them, the closest one to their accommodation.
They all share a similar atmosphere, lively and colourful, with exotic products and sharp aromas.
The Khlong Toey fresh produce (3) market is an excellent option, well connected with the MRT.
But if you also want to try some of their products such as tropical fruits, then the Or Tor Kor (4) market might be the right one, its facilities are more modern and the presentation of fruits is likely more appealing. This market is located close to the Chatuchak weekend market.
Nevertheless, in the case of staying in Khaosan Road the two mentioned will be far away, while Thewet (5) market is within walking distance.
Thewet market. Open daily. Timetable: 08h00 to 18h00.
Khlong Toey. Open daily/24 hours.
Or Tor Kor. Open daily. Timetable: 08h00 to 18h00.
