Not really a tourist attraction, but these markets are both huge and very, very interesting and colourful. In the early morning, the day market kicks into life with the arrival of trucks loaded with fruit and vegetables. The day market is centred around an area bound by Klang Meuang, Srichan, Cheetakhan, and Namuang roads, but it’s on the surrounding streets and alleys that the real colours and smells are found. Ladies sitting with piles and pyramids carefully stacked with every sort of fruit and vegetable imaginable - then some not so imaginable! There were bowls of frogs, turtles, and cockroaches; saucers of grubs; and bunches of herbs and greens picked from the roadside that just look like weeds to me! Needless to say, the market is humming with activity in the mornings. It’s as much a social meeting place as a market.
A few streets further north, the night market is found. At around 5pm stalls start to appear on Klang Meuang Road north of the post office and Ruenrom Road is completely taken over by rows and rows of stalls, tables and chairs - so many, there’s barely space to walk! You name it, you can have it barbecued, baked, fried, boiled, or even raw! You can get your food served in a plastic bag to take away, too. It’s a great place to wander around even if you don’t eat here.
