Hi everyone here we are back for another #marketfriday initiated by the lovely @dswigle and it's Friday again and this time i found myself at a fruit fair in Bangkok , Thailand that was held at the famous markets called Chatuchak Market in Bangkok , Thailand.
I had heard from some friends that they have this fruit fair once a year at this Chatuchak Markets in Bangkok so me been a fruit lover just could not resist staying away from this paradise of fruits.
The Chatuchak Weekend Market is also known as JJ Markets in Bangkok it has more than 15,000 stalls and 11,505 vendors, divided into 27 sections so it's easy to get lost and find yourself going around i circles.
The Thai Farmers really have pride in their fruit farms they like to compete with each other to see who can grow the biggest and most tastiest fruit or veggie as you can see with there watermelons and pumpkins.
Markets like this are always my favorites to visit they always put on a great display i normally spend all day at these sort of fairs and not only fruit are on display you have a abundance of products you can see and buy like flowers , jewelry , handmade craftwork , clothing , pet shops and the list goes on.
All these knickknacks were quite interesting colored phone cable extensions , light decorations , little stools and many more to be seen.
And you got hungry this is one place you would not starve the amount of food vendors and little cute cafes here could feed the whole globe.
From Western food to Japanese food and of course all the Thai dishes you could ever dream of Som Tam with crab , Pad Thai seafood all under this one huge roof like they say Bangkok is one big kitchen.
And if you desired a dessert i would recommend this well known Thai dessert the sticky rice with mango slices my favorite one to die for.
And then maybe another piece of fruit to wash that down how about a nice juicy plum or a peach or maybe some long black sweet grapes.
A day well spent had a great feast on the fruits and Thai dishes it is not hard to spend a whole day here you certainly will not get bored a place that has much to seen if your ever in Bangkok , Thailand , the Chatuchak Weekend Market.
Thank you @dswigle for giving us the opportunity to show of our countries markets on @marketfriday it is certainly a very knowledgeable subject to see what our neighboring countries can bring to us.
