For decades, this centrally located market has powered many a Bangkok home or restaurant’s fresh food supplies. It's well-visited by serious foodies, trade customers, and top chefs who brave an early morning start to get the best of what’s sold here, from all manner of fresh seafood, newly butchered meats, exotic fruits, and juicy produce. The acidic smells, riotous colors and loud banter among vendors are all part of the bargain.
