Shopping in Aranyaprathet Border Market

There are only 2 reasons to come to Aranyaprathet the border district of Thailand near Cambodia. If you want to cross the border by land from Thailand to Cambodia, and the other is to visit the never-ending Ban Klong Luek Market, there are some pictures of the market:



1.    It’s a busy afternoon at Aranyaprathet as locals come to do their regular shopping for meat, fish and other creatures from the sea.


2.    Tubs and tubs of live crabs greet us on the road. Even as they are packed in plastic bags, a couple of them make a quick escape and run onto the roads.


3.    Another favourite is frogs


4.    If there is something more colourful than the market and the locals, it has to be these pink eggs, which are so much in demand.

5.    Fish and more fish. I see several fishermen putting up their stalls and selling their catch.



6.    This seems to be a live counter. Seafood is the speciality, and some of these counters sell them boiled, cooked, steamed and raw.
