Aw Taw Kaw Market
Aw Taw Kaw Market Review
Bangkok's best food bargains are found at this legendary spot in the Chatuchak market. It's noisy, and you'll be inundated with sights and smells in the rows of food stalls; walk around and let your senses take over. The seafood, like raw crab, curried crab, or steamed whole fish with garlic and chili, is especially tasty. Items are dished out in plastic baggies; finding a seat and utensils can be a challenge. The trick is to buy something small at one of the few cafélike establishments that offers seats, plates, and cutlery—then open your bags and feast.

MichaelBKK, from Bangkok
The Fodors review of this market is seriously misleading. First, the market is not "in" the Chatuchak weekend market; it's a separate market across a busy intersection, and it's open every day. Also, the review reads like this is a restaurant, when it is in fact a fresh market. There is a food court area where you can buy a light meal, but this is primarily a food market with some of the best produce in Thailand.
