A Morning in a Bangkok Wet Market
Bangkok’s wet markets are not for the faint of heart, but they are the soul of Thai cuisine. The smell of fresh galangal, the sound of cleavers hitting chopping blocks, and the vibrant colors of tropical fruits create an atmosphere unlike any other.
I spent my morning at Khlong Toei, watching chefs pick their ingredients and sampling street food that blew my mind.
