Looking for a market that supplies an abundance of fruits and vegetables? If you're in Bangkok, here's where to go: Or Tor Kor Market right off the Kamphaeng Phet MRT station (Bangkok's underground train). If you've never used the sky or underground train system, get on it -- this is the way to travel to avoid the 24 hr a day traffic in Bangkok (I'll save more info on the BTS and MRT for another post).
You'll want to get off at Kamphaeng Phet and follow he signs to walk out of exit 3. Go up the escalator and down the steps and Or Tor Kor Market is literally right there.
Immediately you will see this fruit HEAVEN. They have local and imported produce, fresh and dried, whole and chopped. Prices here seem to be a little higher, as the market is located directly across the street from the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market. You can buy almost every tropical and exotic fruit on the market, along with your greens!
One of my favorite buys are the fresh juices! I've only had the passion fruit, sugarcane, guava, and rosella out of all these options.
Lots and lots of durian to go around! You can buy it prepared like this, or whole which I prefer because the Thais tend to cut into their fruits a little early before they are ripe.
Whole jackfruit I purchased here and waited until it was super ripe and juicy.
Hours: 6am - 8pm everyday
Location: Kamphaeng Phet MRT, exit 3
