About Bangkok

Bangkok covers an area of 605.7 sq. miles (1568.7 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 5.7 million people being the capital, largest city, and primate city of Thailand. Bangkok is the 22nd most populous city in the world.

Khlong Toey Market

Khlong Toey is a very ‘fresh’ market, offering low prices on raw meat, seafood, farm produce, and a few other items (clothing, kitchenware, etc). A small, hidden village deep within the Bangkok concrete jungle, this extensive market seems to have a life of its own. Quaintly tucked away within a grimy city block and practically unnoticable from busy Rama IV Road, a pleasantly unexpected, laid-back environment lies within. Some sections can get a bit bloody, and if you’re squemish, no worries, as not all sections are strictly filled with raw meat. If you still have an appetite, a few food stalls serve Thai curries and other local staples.
