webworldly Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Greetings! From Sukhumvit Soi 10....what's the nearest open market (i.e. not a "grocery store") where you can buy fresh mushrooms and other veggies? What days and times are sellers there? CHEERS!

legag Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think the nearest 'open market' is Klong Taeuy on Rama 4. Opens for them loading stuff from midnight till dawn and they start selling for retail from 5 til noon but you better get it there as early before all fresh and good stuff are sold out.

webworldly Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thank you, legag! :-) I'll still hold out on hopes that someone knows about a closer one (to Sukhumvit Soi 10). CHEERS! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jEFFREYk44 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Klong Toei is very close to you but now a walk away, wht open air market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadThaiGuy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Soi 10 ends at the Tobacco Monopoly Gate. You can walk or bike thru and the road will take you to Rama 4, near the Klong Toey Market. Also, there is a small Village Market at the other end of the Tobacco Monopoly. You may find what you are looking for there. Closes after lunch.

webworldly Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thank you everybody!! I think I'm all set now based on your tips. Main reason is I eat a lot (crazy amount actually) of Marat (bitter gourd...but the small dark green ones) and same for mushrooms. Most of the time at Tops, finding Marat is hit or miss....and I don't feel good about throwing away so much of the plastic packaging they put it in....I like buying from the fresh market because I can just stuff a big bag full of it. As for mushrooms.....at Tops and other stores they are more expensive....and they don't have the same kind that the market has.....which are a sort of "button mushroom" with a unique shape and taste. (That said....Shitake still taste the best and have the most nutrients.....but I only find those at grocery stores). Sorry for the long explanation....lol!! Thank you again for your help. CHEERS!
