Local Fresh Market at Chanthaburi

The Front of the Market

I had a chance to travel to Chanthaburi for a business trip. It was fun (a little tried) on the way back we had the opportunity to visit a small local fresh market, which we Thais call "Talad Nut"

"Talad ตลาด" mean Market and the word "Nut นัด" mean a appointment. So the "Talad Nut" is a temporary market place that is active for a short time on a agree day. It depends on the popularity of the market. Normally it would be active around twice a week. The more popular it grow sthe more days it will be active and will turn to be a permanent market in the end.

Fresh vegetable are available

This market was placed near a gas station in the rural area of Chanthaburi. Frequent customers are factory workers. Chanthaburi have many kinds of factories ranging from Chicken to Canned fruit. So the quality of the products were not good. Just to keep you surviving.

Wanna Play?

What I enjoyed the most was the moving play ground. It is one of those moving Child's play ground which moves frequently to everywhere that has a market like this. Merchants or Buyers pay only a small fee to keep their children happy why their shopping.

Its a nice life style, reminds you of how easy life could be if you just simply it.....
