Please check out my travel and food website right here: Stop by and say hello The Klong Toey Market ) in Bangkok is one of the largest, busiest, and most important markets in the entire city. It's the distribution point for many fruits, vegetables and meat throughout the city. As I mentioned in the video, if you should eat at any restaurant in central Bangkok, both street food or sit down restaurant alike, and it's likely that a few, if not all the ingredients were purchased from Klong Toey. The market is in reality open 24 hours per day, but the most energetic time to visit, when the market is really at its peak is in the early morning from about 4 am to 8 am. However, you don't have to wake up too early to catch the action, the market is still nice to see and browse during the late morning or afternoon as well. Vegetables and meat are especially cheap to buy at Klong Toey Market, and many vendors even sell their produce in large wholesale bags, specifically catering to those that have restaurants. If you buy a lot of groceries and can't carry them all, there are plenty of porters armed with big baskets and dollies that can be hired for just 1 - 2 to transport all your things around the market. Now that's shopping in style Wouldn't it be nice to have a person carrying around your groceries at the supermarket? If you are visiting Bangkok and want to get out and see the real life of the city, the market that churns part of economy and a major source of food for the city of Bangkok, you've got to visit Talad Klong Toey. How to get to Klong Toey Market ): The market is located on the corner of Ratchada and Rama IV roads. You can either take a taxi directly there, it's really close to central Bangkok (without traffic it's about 5 minutes from Silom and about 5 minutes from Asoke. You can also choose to take the MRT Metro underground train to Khlong Toei station, and you'll just have to walk about 5 minutes until you're in the thick of the market. Just like at any crowded place in the world, it's always a wise decision to keep your pockets safe and take account of your valuables when you visit

Do NOT take Tuk Tuks in Bangkok Tired of seeing people post on here about them. Maybe, if you must, do it once for a short ride. But they are often unsafe and ALWAYS a massive ripoff. Use BTS, motos, taxis (chai meter, walk, or use GRAB app. Take a Tuk Tuk and you will pay hundreds of baht for a ride that would cost 50 baht in a cab. Plus you are supporting the most obnoxious aggressive service in the city.

Ahh, great to hear that. Even though there's so much street food and restaurants in Bangkok, it is nice to have an apartment with a kitchen to be able to cook sometimes. I just love all the fresh produce and fruit in Thailand Hope everything goes well for the visit and move

yes I'm from Indonesia. but now live in USA. I miss Indonesian food a lot. if you go to Indonesia again. you have to go to Surabaya. Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia so it's not as crowded as Jakarta and many food vendors as well.
