A visit yesterday to Oxiee Mart, close to 13th North Road, where the road is being developed hopefully for the final time and will be ready in 2 years.
An old market with life and charm, have a family member there selling goods, the market is well over 10 years and could be more.

ideal next to the Petrol station, friendly people and helpful for sure, again has a wholesale side and retail prices are a bit higher than Thalad Lao for sure, you can Bargain with them.
the market has a lot more Vietnamese these days and a few Chinese vendors.

The last post on ThaladLao Market,
the Goat meat stall, was well set out the cuts of Goat was nicely trimmed and portioned.
this week coming another market will be presented.

they have a nice dry section of herbs species, dry commodities, and groceries, suggest to check Mini big C is so expensive same as 7/11. The market was cheaper biscuits and items for the children way above no wonder people cant survive on their salaries.

only one thing in Thalad Lao don't take pictures of those sell the religious section, she was very angry!

was impressed when we took a trip back to TaladLao, close to the LC Railways and few hundred meters form the Southern Bus terminal.
A market divided into a wholesale and retail, the place is clean tidy and well kept, people say its a bit out of town take a closer look prices are half what we pay in the city Markets.
