On Day 5 we checked out of our hotel at Khao San Road and transferred to Sathon, which is one of the main downtown financial districts of Bangkok. From there, we headed to Or Tor Kor Market (ตลาด อตก), which is one of the best food markets in Bangkok, and then went on to Chatuchak Weekend Market (ตลาดนัดจตุจักร) to do some walking around with Dwight.
00:47 Som Song Pochana (ร้านสมทรงโภชนา) - Before leaving Khao San Road, we stopped at a restaurant called Som Song Pochana (ร้านสมทรงโภชนา) to have a bowl of kuay teow Sukhothai haeng (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวต้มยำสุโขทัยเส้นเล็กแห้ง).
5:15 Or Tor Kor Market (ตลาด อตก) - Or Tor Kor Market (ตลาด อตก) is one of the best Thai food markets in Bangkok - it’s a very nice and clean market, and there’s a really good mixture of both fresh vegetables and fruit for sale, as well as a good sized food court where you can sit down and choose from all sorts of different things. The market is a little on the expensive side compared to other fresh markets in Bangkok, but the food is known to be very high quality, and you can get some of the best ingredients and fresh fruits in all of Thailand. Along with Dwight, I started off with khanom buang (ขนมเบื้อง), a Thai dessert that is a small pancake crepe filled with a variety of different toppings. I’m not a huge sweets fan, but they were alright. We then proceeded on to eat a plate of rice and curry, khao gaeng (ข้าวแกง), which was delicious. For my main meal at Or Tor Kor Market (ตลาด อตก) this day, I went to a stall called Som Tam Or Tor Kor Restaurant (ร้านส้มตำ อตก), which specializes mainly in Thai green papaya salad and grilled chicken. I ordered a fiery plate of som tam boo pla ra (ส้มต้มปูปลาร้า), Thai green papaya salad with fermented fish and crab - it was incredibly delicious and incredibly spicy! I also had a full gai yang (ไก่ย่าง), grilled chicken, which was incredibly good as well. Finally, Dwight came to the table with some durian and mangosteen, which is always a good thing to eat when you go to Or Tor Kor Market (ตลาด อตก).
16:18 Right across the MRT station from Or Tor Kor Market is Chatuchak Weekend Market (ตลาดนัดจตุจักร), one of the most famous attractions in all of Bangkok. After getting some much needed water, I then had some kai pla meuk tod (ไข่ปลาหมึกทอด), which are fried squid eggs, and they are quite a popular snack at the market. They are fried in lots of oil, and then covered in a chili garlic sauce. They kind of remind me of eating egg yolks, they are definitely pretty rich, and with the chili sauce they are pretty good.
22:48 Stall at Silom Soi 9 (สีลมซอย 9) - For dinner we met up with a friend who took us to one of his favorite stalls on Silom Soi 9. We were with a group and we ordered up a bunch of different dishes including goong pad pongari (กุ้งผัดผงกะหรี่) - shrimp in yellow egg curry, meuk pad cha (หมึกผัดฉ่า) - squid with fingerroot, potaek talay (โป๊ะแตกทะเล) - seafood soup, kana moo krob (คะน้าหมูกรอบ) - kailan with crispy pork, moo manao (หมูมะนาว) - sour lime juice pork, neua dad diaw (เนื้อแดดเดียว) - dried fried pork, and finally a kai jeow moo saab (ไข่เจียวหมูสับ) - Thai style omelet for dessert to top everything off.
