Or Tor Kor in Bangkok has been picked one of the world's best fresh markets by CNN.
Others on the list are La Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain; Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan; Union Square Farmer's Market in New York City, US; St Lawrence Market in Toronto, Canada; Borough Market in London, UK; Kreta Ayer Wet Market in Singapore, Lancaster Central Market in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, US; Marché Provencal in Antibes, France; and Kowloon City Wet Market in Hong Kong.
CNN chose Or Tor Kor for "perfect produce", displays exotic fruits and vegetables that are unique to Thailand and imported specialities from around Asia.
"The market is immaculate and brightly lit, allowing shoppers to easily cruise for seafood, sweets and cooked foods," it said.
Located on Kamphaeng Phet Road opposite Chatuchak Market, Or Tor Kor is operated by the Marketing Organization for Farmers, a state enterprise under the Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives Ministry. It was set up to be the prototype of fresh markets in terms of food safety, hygiene and the environment.
For many Thais, the market sells high-quality products but the prices are expensive.
