The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Chatuchak
Every weekend, thousands of tourists make their way up to this Northern Bangkok suburb to get lost in an enormous maze of shops at the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Home to almost 10,000 vendors, you’ll find everything from vintage sneakers to comic books and Thai handicrafts being sold here. You name it, Chatuchack probably sells it. The market is a great place to pick up souvenirs, but be sure to bargain for a good price. After a day of shopping and strolling around, the lush green lanes of Chatuchak Park are a welcome relief.

- Rich RNew Haven, Connecticut8 contributionsBest fresh market in ThailandI came with some Thai friends who grew up in Bangkok. Their mom came her to do her shopping for fresh produce, and now I can see why. It has to be one of my favorite open air fresh markets in Thailand if not the world. Amazing fruit and produce, all fresh, perfect and ready to use!Visited December 2022Written 14 January 2023
- AethelredCambridge, Massachusetts1,247 contributionsMagnificent wet marketwith a top class branch of the Royal Projects shop and a well-stocked, very cheap pharmacy. Outstanding both for fresh fruit and seafood and prepared one. Great candy stores, durian, pork belly, Isan sausages, chips. And nice space to eat stuff you bought. 95% less touristy than Chatuchak across the road.Visited April 2023Written 6 May 2023

- genibre69London, United Kingdom3,385 contributionsGreat place to wanderThis place is great. I actually went to Chatuchak after and glad I went to Or Tor Kor Market first. It’s far less frenetic and there are great stalls with fruit and veg I’ve never seen. Plus plenty of cheap eats. I actually enjoyed here more than Chatuchak.Visited November 2023Travelled soloWritten 22 November 2023

Arriving in Thailand, you must eat Thai fruits. So I came here This market is very big. There are many fruits. I came specifically to buy durian. Because Thai durian is very delicious.

Wow what a beautiful market where you can get all types of veggies and exotic fruits. Although it's not cheap but if you want any types of fruits even if not in season you can get it here. Just take MRT to kamphaeng phet exit 3 and you are there.

Came here after visiting Chatuchak Weekend Market. Lots of local and imported fruits can be found here. Durians, mangosteens, "dragon eye" longan are the must try. Some had suggested that its not the cheapest but it is definitely the most convenient. You can visit Chatuchak at the same time. MRT Kamphaeng Phet is the station.

Or Tor Kor isn't the average Thai market, in any way. First off, prices are a bit higher than normal, but the market itself is ckean and brightly lit, and produce and seafood is premium quality and nicely presented. This market may not be worth a visit on its own, but when combined with the Chatuchak weekend market (JJ market), it's a good way to spend your morning. And to get a very tasty meal! Take MRT to Kamphaeng Phet station, and exit 3 will drop you right at the door.

Is Or Tor Kor market open during Songkran 2018 and if so are the food vendors (breakfast/lunch) still there?

The malls are sure to be opened, but as for markets maybe certain vendors will chose to close their shops.
How long does it take to visit the whole market?

Actually if you want to just look around, then half an hour is enough. However, if you want to check the fruits out and try a few varieties plus eat some cooked to order Thai food in addition to some dessert then you might have to wait in line if you come during lunch time. That might take about an hour and a half or at the most 2 hours. It really all depends on you. It's not a very big market.

How do I get there on public transport & what are the hours & days it operates please!

Take the MRT (tube/subway) and alight at Kamphaeng Phet station (the station after Chatuchak) - look for the directions to Farmers' Market. The MRT exit is next to OTK. I usually go there for late breakfast (11am) - seems like they open from morning till mid/late afternoon and 7 days a week.

Can I buy artificial plants at this market or in the Orchid market attached?

Or Tor Kor is a fresh food market but occasionally you find people selling other thing like artificial plants. I think it's best to go to Chatucak. There are lots of stores there that sells artificial plants. Happy shopping.
