Or Tor Kor Website (No official website found) so I linked to “travelling-foodies.com” because they have the best photo tour of the market.
Or Tor Kor (Awe Tor Gaw to you, farang), is another favorite place to eat. Grab yourself a table and start ordering from the different stalls – satay, curries, desserts, soups – every Thai (a few Chinese and Vietnamese too) dish you can imagine is here.
One thing that strikes me when I eat there is how few farang I see; usually a sign of a good restaurant is how crowded with locals is it… the restaurants at Or Tor Kor are not crowded because there’s a lot of space; they are all busy.
Before lunch is a good time to hit the food stalls – everything is cooked and ready by then; but it is just before the mad rush of lunchtime so easier to order and get a seat.
Food
Amazing variety, fresh and great quality.
Atmosphere
It’s a bustling market busy from when it opens to when it closes; people are friendly and love that you’re there to eat their food.
Location
It is one of my favorite parts of Bangkok. Near to the railway park, Chatuchak market a stone’s throw away, and a whole bunch of interesting shops and restaurants in the area.
Price
Another nickname for Or Tor Kor market is, “Rich people’s market.” As far as fresh markets go, it is expensive – but it is unparalleled for variety and quality.
