Let the shop come to you

» If you live around Sukhumvit, Yen Akat or Sathon and want to buy bunches of fresh coriander and spring onions and some pla tu, it will cost you about 60 baht. If you decide to buy it at a market far from the middle of town you’ll need at least 200 baht for transport and a spare two hours. But if you live on the outer fringes of the metropolis — Om Noi or Phutthamonton in Nakhon Pathom; Thaa It or Pak Kret in Nonthaburi; or Lam Luk Ka, Lat Lum Kaeo in Pathum Thani — and you want to get hold of the same coriander, spring onions and fish, you’ll have no problems with transport or price.
This big city went to the markets

» Bangkok is a huge city that continues to expand on a daily basis. Some parts of the city are so densely populated that there is hardly room for grass to grow. When the crowding reaches that point, some people move out to surrounding provinces such as Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom, and Samut Prakan. The city's growth involves both people from metropolitan Bangkok who move to the suburbs to escape the crowding, and those from the provinces who are unable to find places to live in the city and therefore settle in the surrounding areas.
Meal-Time mysteries something to chew over

» Thailand is famous as a place where we are surrounded on all sides and at all times by food _ a paradise for tourists, especially aficionados of street food, and for Thais themselves. If you are travelling from Lat Krabang to Nong Chok and Ramkhamhaeng, you'll find a certain kind of food _ good Muslim cuisine, and plenty of it. But if you go from Charoen Krung Road to Yaowarat, the selection will be very different.
