  • 5/5 Meng Foo C. 4 years ago on Google • 969 reviews
    One of the most exciting wet market I had seen in Bangkok. Here we can see how the sellers prepare the fishes, salted or fermented and bottled them or lay them out to dry. It is one huge space with many stalls in them. We were intrigue by the variety of fishes and sea animals on sales. People were very friendly, when asked to photograph them, most of them obliged with a smile. They do not get angry if we did not buy any of their goods but pry with astonishing and bewildered expression. It is one great place to do street photography. Never have I been allowed to go so near and so close to people on the street. I love the fish eyes, in your eye shots. My f1.8 lens had found some justice in its use.

    This is the place worth visiting if someone really want a sneak peak into what Thai people eat. Place is full of dry fish, squids, salmons and spices. You can see a lots of variety of fish, especially dry fish here. The only problem is over the top smell, this place may be too stinky for people to bear it.

    The pier to go to Wat Arun is here as well. A 3 minute ferry ride to Wat arun is 5 baht, and it's really quick! Though a bit bumpy but worth it!!

    A mix of old and new builds. Love the Fragrance of salted seafood waffing through. The older part of the market (wooden. Structure) should be gone in a year's time.

    I got short shopping here while I was waiting for the ferryboat to Wat Arun. The cloths are inexpensive and the vendors were so friendly even when I and my friends dealt with them and they wanted to offer discount too so we got very good price.
