Thai Food Markets

If there’s nothing else to do during travel, there’s always time to wander and get lost in the local markets. They seem to be everywhere in Thailand. Stalls set up by rickety tables and covered by colorful umbrellas line the streets. And under those umbrellas hold the most interesting and tasty items.

At the food markets you can have your pick from live fish out a bucket full of water or perhaps you’d like cuttlefish on a stick to awaken your taste buds.

Yes, Thailand has it all. And while the market is usually chaotic and there's a great risk you may be hit by a mope-head, it all has this underlying flow. A smooth dance in which all the locals are engaged and we get to weave through trying to learn the steps.

We've learned that the smallest chilies pack the most punch, the prikly red balls are actually delicious fruit, and that Thais have the best grocery carts around.

We will continue to attempt to weave our way through the narrow streets and try different and much too spicy food because our culinary days are just beginning and Thailand is a wonderful place that offers more than enough. Because as I have heard from numerous people here, nobody goes hungry in Thailand.

What's a new culinary treat that you've tried?
