in #marketfriday7 years ago (edited)

Let me take you for a tour around my local area and show you how happy these street vendors are to serve you with a smile and provide you with the best street meals and sweets that are like five star at such a low cost and superb tasting.


Here we have the sweets lady who makes all her sweet cakes fresh daily she has custard , vanilla cakes and many more flavors and small golden pumpkins filled with custard sprinkle with coconut slices that one is my favorite.

As they say amazing Thailand anything you need is at your doorstep. Thailand is known to be one giant kitchen everywhere you look someone is cooking up a mouth watering dish weather it's in a restaurant , corner stand or simply a vendor who will roll out there cart and park on the side of the street.


Next to the sweets lady we have my man who does the best BBQ chicken in town cut up for you in what ever amount you want with the choice of chili sauce or sweet and chili sauce to go with it. Or his wife will serve you up with chicken satay BBQ chicken on the stick with some peanut sauce.

Then there is my fried fish street vendor who was cooking up some lovely juicy snapper fish on her cart in a large fry pan with a portable gas bottle and the aroma coming from that cart struck my senses of smell and i just had to take some home with me today was fish day for me.

Oh, you do know how to live, don't you?I love when you hit the streets and introduce all the vendors along your way.

Thank you so much for the awesome shots, the descriptions of all the foods, so I will know what to eat and what not to bother with! The relationship you have with your everyone that you come across and the fact that you include them in your post.

It makes for a wonderful read, a fabulous write and it makes me want to go to Thailand tomorrow. I haven't seen so much yummy food in one stretch of road since Hong Kong.

You never disappoint!

Oh, grab the corn and the fish for me. I can smell it from here and Yummy delicious it smells so good!

Upped and Steemed tip!

They are friendly and delightful characters, great neighborhood to be living in they are all so kind and good at what they dish up the only problem is i always get more then i order as in bigger portion then needed but it's always good re-heated for lunch the next day.

Your right about the corn it is so sweet and goes well with the fish.

Thank you again for your beautiful comment the re-steem and the tip i will try to be on time next time....hehe !!

Have a great day :)

You can keep the fish, Denise, but you'll have to share corn with me :)))) no! I decided not to go to Thailand otherwise I will be very fat and I will have to change all my clothes :))))

Haha! Angelo swears it it the place to go!

I would love to share the corn with you, but, the fish is better for our waistlines! Hi, Tali!

i gotta go there. this is one of my list of places to travel.

Please do so you will not be disappointed :)

maybe i will move and live there for awhile since its cheap

You will certainly get value for your dollar :)

Good luck man!

OK understand thank you :)

Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate how colorful everything looks in Thailand. Here in the US people paint houses and furniture very boring colors, grey, beige, and brown. When I own a house I think I will paint it bright purple and turquoise.

It's amazing how color brings everything to life i agree i was in Connecticut a little while back and yeah i did notice that it was kind of boring so please do paint your house in rainbow colors :)

Wow so much good stuff. I love that chicken!

The chicken agree with you it's just got that real barbecue taste ....love it :)

I would be so fat having all this delicious food available to me all the time!! And most people look skinny!! How do they do it!!
Why are so many people wearing masks?

I know i really need to hold back at times or close my eyes as i'm walking pass these vendors.They just seem to have a great metabolism break down of food that we don't seem to have.
The reason about the mask, they are out on the streets selling food all day long so they wear them mask so not to be breathing in all that carbon moxide from car pollution.

That makes sense!
