A place worth knowing

Khlong Toei Market brings Bangkok’s food supply into view: vegetables, fruit, meat and regional ingredients pass through a working market used by household shoppers and professional cooks. It is a place to understand what goes into the city’s kitchens before it reaches the plate.

Walk with the flow of shoppers, leave space for deliveries and ask before photographing traders. Focus on the ingredients and the everyday exchanges, allowing the people doing their shopping and work to set the pace.
