"AUTOKO MARKET" is better access than other markets in Bangkok,As soon as you leave Exit 3 of "MRT Gum Pen Pet Station", On the right side.

Moreover, it is about 3 minutes passing through the subway premises also from 'Chatuchak weekend market' which is held on Saturdays and Sundays only on the opposite side of "AUTOKO market", so we can stop by without hesitation I will.

As there is a side dish stand and a food court in the "AUTOKO MARKET", it is also good to take a meal and go eat fresh fruits.

It is a masterpiece zone where colorful fruits of "Fruit Heaven Thailand" are all together.

In Japan, fruits not seen so much, and fruits which are only placed in high-end fruit shops are arranged neatly.

The color form is of quality of just selling at luxury supermarkets etc., purchase is not 1 pieces 2 pieces, but ㎏ so it is different from the feeling of Japan.

Mangosteen and mango, durian, papaya, lychee, apple, zombon etc are displayed elegantly.

Among them, the king of fruit "Dorian" is sold at several shops, so there is a big one that I have never seen, so it is a must-see.

Also, the sale of colorful beautiful cut fruit has been done, and you can eat it on the spot.

"Vegetable" zone is also necessary check because a lot of different vegetables are lined up from the supermarket in Japan.

For Zucchini, Blue Papaya, Giant Pumpkin, small round eggplants, peppers, herbs, etc. used for "green curry" were sold.

Many vegetables are used in Thai cuisine, there are dozens of spices and herbs.

In Chinese Thai cuisine, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, radish etc. are used, but in Thai traditional cuisine, vegetables which are not familiar in Japan, spices, herbs are used.

Vegetables are cultivated in northern Thailand where many mountains are mainly carried and are carried to Bangkok city.

Many shoppers came to shopping early in the morning, because the "AUTOKO MARKET" has all the colors and shapes of selected vegetables.

The "meat" zone selling pork and chicken meat on site and the "fresh fish" zone are next to each other.

In the "fresh fish" zone, various kinds of seafood such as variety and size are lined up, and shrimps and crabs are indispensable for Thai cuisine.

When a fish is bought, people in the shop judge on the spot.

There was a shopper who just bought a big fish, and I saw a brilliant impressive knife kitchen knife.

In the "dry matter" zone, dried fish, mainly fish, shrimp and Thai rice are piled up in rows.

In Thailand it is common to eat fish dried with oil or, in some things, grill with fire.

Peppers and garlic are also sold in large quantities, and there are also other Thai seasonings and Thai food paste shops.

There were stores that let me taste inside.

In the "side dish" zone, there are Guyan (charcoal grilling of chicken), Thai curry and soup, fried vegetables, and various other types of side dishes.

Because we will buy the finished dish, tourists can do a pointed order and eat it on the spot.

It's a great idea to listen to the menu recommended by the shop and try the challenge.

In the "Sweets" zone near the "fruit" zone and "side dish" zone, colorful Thai traditional confectionery etc. are lining up.

Sweets looking beautiful are said to line up at the table when there are gifts, events and celebrations.

You can see a variety of Thai sweets such as sweets made with coconut milk, hardened tapioca, sweet rich crispy texture, ducky yolks and sugar, syrup hardened sweets.

There is also a food court, 24 hours a day, in the "AUTOKO MARKET", and it is always crowded at noon.

Food coats using ingredients of the "AUTOKO MARKET" are popular because gourmets gather for delicious ingredients and dishes for cooking.

There are also many seats and the rotation is fast so we can sit down even if it is crowded. I used to go to "Chatuchak Weekend Market".
